We’ve just published the MiHCM Bangladesh Payroll Compliance Guide 2026 — and if you’re running payroll in Bangladesh right now, this one is worth your time.
The Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act 2026 passed Parliament in April and brought the biggest set of labour law changes since 2013. Around 93 amendments, covering everything from provident fund obligations to maternity leave, festival holidays, resignation benefits, and trade union rules.
For HR and payroll teams, the changes that affect day-to-day calculations the most are these:
The resignation benefit now triggers at 3 years of service, not 5. A worker resigning after exactly 3 years is owed 21 days of wages under the new tiered structure. The provident fund is now automatically required once an establishment reaches 100 permanent workers — no written petition from workers needed. Festival bonuses are confirmed as a mandatory statutory obligation under the Labour Rules, not an employer’s discretionary policy. The general income tax-free threshold for FY2026–27 has been confirmed by the enacted Finance Bill at BDT 400,000, up from the previous BDT 350,000. And maternity leave has increased from 112 to 120 days.
The guide also covers WPPF, gratuity calculation tiers, working hours and overtime, the compliance calendar, and how MiHCM Payroll handles Bangladesh statutory requirements in-system.
