- Overview
Employing in Bangladesh
The minimum wage in Bangladesh is fixed at 1,500 taka per month ($17.63) for employees who’re not covered by industry-specific wages; workers in the garment industry (one of Bangladesh’s largest employment sectors) earn a minimum of 8,000 takas ($94) per month.
For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly instalments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.
We can help you get a new employee started in Bangladesh fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 10 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.
Employees in Bangladesh who have completed at least one year of service are entitled to two festival bonuses each year. Each bonus should not be more than the basic monthly pay.

Facts & Stats
The People’s Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali: গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ) is a parliamentary constitutional republic, that’s neighbored by India and Myanmar and is boasts the honour of being the eight-most populous country in the world.
Home to the Bengal tiger, the world’s longest stretching beach, an outsized textile industry, and the most expansive mangrove forest in the world, Bangladesh combines Asian charm with rich culture and profuse biodiversity.
While Bangladesh still has work to do reducing inequality and eliminating extreme poverty, globalisation has been opening up the nation’s economy, creating a new breed of experts your business can depend on as you expand across the globe.
