In this guide, we explore the key labor regulations and how tools like Zonobol — a powerful HRM system developed by Web Xpress — can help automate compliance, simplify HR, and reduce operational risk.
According to the Bangladesh Labour Act, the following standards are enforced:
| Category | Regulation |
|---|---|
| Daily Working Hours | Max 8 hours/day |
| Weekly Working Hours | Max 48 hours/week |
| Overtime Limit | Max 2 extra hours/day, 60 hours/week |
| Average Weekly Hours | Cannot exceed 56 hours/yearly average |
| Overtime Pay | Must be 2x (200%) the regular hourly rate |
| Breaks | 30 mins after 5 hours; 1 hour if working 6+ hours |
| Weekly Holiday | At least 1 full day off/week (usually Friday) |
| Women & Night Shift | Consent required to work between 10 PM – 6 AM |
These laws are enforced under Section 100–108 of the Labour Act, and apply to all registered private and public organizations in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's labor law provides extensive protection to workers:
Equal pay for equal work
16 weeks of paid maternity leave
Standard entitlements for casual, sick, and earned leaves
Timely wage disbursement (monthly or bi-weekly)
Compensation for workplace injuries or termination
Protection against wrongful dismissal or harassment
Non-compliance can result in labor tribunal cases, penalties, and reputational damage.
