Choose a fixed-scope payroll package and know each month exactly what HRBD will do: calculate salaries, withhold income tax under National Board of Revenue rules, issue the bank salary file and payslips, and keep the record straight. Four tiers run from the monthly cycle alone up to payroll with HR administration and named support. Each tier is a defined scope; the headcount it covers and the monthly fee are confirmed in a written quote before the first cycle. Packages sit under payroll management; for a bespoke scope see payroll services.
Reviewed by Romana Akhter Shila, Head of Payroll & HR Compliance, HRBD. Last reviewed September 2026.
The monthly cycle: salary and deduction calculation, NBR income tax withholding, bank salary file, digital payslips and monthly reconciliation. For companies that keep their own HR function.
Everything in Essential, plus the employee master record maintained by HRBD, identity and document verification at joining, provident fund and gratuity schedules, and a year-end reconciliation pack.
Everything in Enhanced, plus HR administration: employment contracts under the Bangladesh Labour Act, leave and attendance records, employee payroll queries, and monthly guidance from HRBD's in-country team.
Everything in Payroll & HR, plus annual statutory returns filed end to end, HR policy and handbook support, a named account manager, and the option of HRBD as legal employer through employer services.
HRBD is a Dhaka-based HR, payroll and Employer of Record company. A package fixes the scope so there is nothing to negotiate each month: you send joiners, leavers, leave and overtime by an agreed cut-off; HRBD calculates, withholds tax, prepares the bank file and payslips, and you approve the register before anything is paid. Tax is deposited and reported, the cycle is reconciled and archived, and the reports for your tier are issued. Moving up a tier is a scope addendum, not a new contract. Where you have no Bangladesh entity, the Plus tier can run with HRBD as the legal employer through employer services.

A payroll package is a fixed-scope monthly payroll service. HRBD offers four tiers in Bangladesh: Essential Payroll (the monthly cycle), Enhanced Payroll (adds the maintained employee record, verification and provident fund schedules), Payroll & HR (adds HR administration and in-country guidance) and Payroll & HR Plus (adds annual filings, policy support, a named account manager and the option of HRBD as legal employer).
Choose Essential if you have your own HR function and only want the monthly cycle run. Choose Enhanced if you also want HRBD to hold the employee record and handle provident fund and year-end reconciliation. Choose Payroll & HR if you have no HR administrator and need contracts, leave records and employee queries handled. Choose Payroll & HR Plus if you also want annual statutory returns, policy support and a named account manager, or if you have no Bangladesh entity.
Each package has a fixed monthly fee for a stated headcount band. HRBD confirms the tier, the headcount it covers and the fee in a written quote before the first cycle, and the fee does not change within the agreed band. Moving to the next band or tier is a scope addendum.
Yes. Moving up or down a tier, or to a different headcount band, is done by a short scope addendum that takes effect from the next monthly cycle. There is no separate onboarding.
Yes. Salary data, tax records and payslips are held under written confidentiality terms and shared only with the people you name. Each employee receives their own payslip and nothing else. Records are returned to you in full if the engagement ends.
Essential, Enhanced and Payroll & HR assume your company is the employer. Under Payroll & HR Plus, HRBD can employ the staff for you through its employer services and run the same package as the legal employer.
Payroll software or an employee self-service portal, corporate income tax filing for the company, statutory audit, and work visas or relocation for foreign nationals. Reports and files are supplied in formats your accounting or HRIS system can load.
Packages sit under payroll management. Related: payroll processing, third-party payroll, tax compliance and filing and HR outsourcing. Foreign companies without an entity start with employer services; all options are on payroll services in Bangladesh.
