Benefits Guide
Employing in Pakistan
Provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights are spelled out in the Pakistani Constitution as well as across several government statutes, such as the Industrial and Commercial Employment Ordinance of 1968, and the Industrial Relations Ordinance of 2002.
Employees in Pakistan generally enjoy protection against discrimination based on age and race.
Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Pakistan.

Wages can be paid as frequently as possible but must be disbursed at least once a 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 Pakistan fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 10 working days.
Our team ensures your team members 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.

Pakistan, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Pakistan may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
