You can employ people using our EOR service. For teams under 15 employees, using an Employer of Record in Sri Lanka is the most cost-effective solution for managing payroll, HR, and compliance, compared to setting up a separate legal entity.
Yes, but only if they’re not acting as a full-time employee for your company. Contractors can work for multiple companies, control their work methods, and send substitutes. If a company dictates what the worker does and who they can work for, classifying them as anything other than an employee could violate Sri Lanka employment law. Misclassifying a worker in the Sri Lanka could lead to fines, back pay for holidays, social security contributions, setting up a Sri Lanka business presence, and even a lawsuit from the employee.
While setting up in the Sri Lanka is relatively straightforward, need a registered office for tax purposes, along with payroll software to manage employee payments and submit them to the Sri Lanka tax authorities. You must also comply with all Sri Lanka employments laws which are often complex, and failure to do so could lead to unlimited fines.
When you hire in Sri Lanka, it comes with specific legal responsibilities. HR compliance ensures your company follows the rules and regulations governing employment practices, protecting both your business and your employees.
By adhering to employment laws, you’re not just ticking boxes, you’re protecting both your employees and your business. Compliance ensures fair treatment for your workforce, covering aspects like sick leave, vacation time, minimum wage, and appropriate working hours. This not only fosters a positive work environment but also minimizes your risk of facing legal repercussions like fines, penalties, and even lawsuits.
While EORSrilanka manages Sri Lanka employment law and compliance, your company remains responsible for day-to-day management and direct communication with your team, including addressing performance concerns and disciplinary actions.
Put simply, EORSrilanka handles the legal side, while you manage your team and their daily tasks.
