Employment and Labour Law Issues

Labour Law Compliance: Once you have decided who is labour, the work of the Labour Lawyers in Bangladesh is to ascertain the major issues of compliance. What does being a labour entail? Is the minimum wage condition being complied with? How long is the probation period? Who is temporary and who is permanent? What kind of benefits, for example, gratuity, statutory compensation, provident fund or festival bonus etc are they receiving? How long is the notice period from both sides if the labour wants to resign or the employer wants to lay off?

At Barrister Mehedi & Jurists, we closely work with the employers and their HR teams to make sure all the above issues are taken care of. We help our clients establish a flawless system that helps them gain an automated process where all the Labour Law compliances are maintained.
