Payroll Services in Bangladesh for Employers

Pay your people in Bangladesh correctly and on time every month, with income tax withheld under NBR rules, provident fund and gratuity handled, bank salary files issued and every statutory return filed. HRBD runs payroll from Dhaka for local companies and for foreign companies that have no entity here, and holds the employer obligations itself where you need a legal employer. The practice has three parts: payroll management, payroll outsourcing and payroll tax compliance and filing.

Outsourcing

Payroll Management

Payroll Management

Payroll Outsourcing

Hand the whole payroll function to HRBD: salary and allowance calculation, overtime and leave adjustments, income tax withholding, provident fund, bank transfer files and digital payslips. See payroll outsourcing, payroll services and payroll processing for the scope options.

Recruitment

Tax Compliance and Filing

Income tax withheld from salaries under National Board of Revenue rules, monthly and annual returns filed, TIN and challan records kept, and provident fund and gratuity treated correctly. Covered by payroll tax compliance and filing with advice from payroll consultancy.

Administration

Payroll for Foreign Employers

Foreign companies without a Bangladesh entity run payroll through HRBD's employer services: HRBD is the legal employer, pays the staff, files the returns and reports to you monthly. Foreign nationals on your team are paid and taxed through expatriate management.

Why Choose HRBD for Payroll?

HRBD is a Dhaka-based HR, payroll and Employer of Record company. Payroll is not a bolt-on to HR here: the same team that drafts the employment contract runs the salary, withholds the tax and files the return, so a change in headcount, pay or leave reaches the payslip the same month. Where you have no local entity, HRBD employs and pays the staff through employer services; where you do, your entity stays the employer and HRBD administers.

What every payroll engagement covers:

Calculation of salary, allowances, overtime and deductions against your approved structure each cycle.
Tax withheld under National Board of Revenue rules with monthly and annual returns filed.
Payment by bank salary file with digital payslips to every employee.
Records kept per employee and per pay run for audit and handover.
Confidentiality of salary data under written terms, shared only with the people you name.

Foreign nationals with a different tax residency are handled through expatriate management.
