Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about employment and labor law in Bangladesh

What are the essential components of an employment contract in Bangladesh? +

An employment contract should clearly state the terms and conditions of employment, including job title, duties, salary, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination procedures. It must comply with the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006, and should include provisions on confidentiality, non-compete clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

What is the process for terminating an employee? +

We advise on the proper procedures to minimize legal risk.

How should a company handle a workplace harassment complaint? +

A company must have a clear policy for handling harassment complaints.

We help develop and implement effective harassment policies.
