Most HR software marketed in Bangladesh is a slightly rebranded global product that doesn't know what the Labour Act 2006 says. This checklist is what we actually look for when evaluating HR software for Bangladeshi SMEs.
What we're covering
- Labour Act 2006 compliance — leave types, gratuity, provident fund, final settlement.
- Biometric attendance — ZKTeco support, offline sync, multi-branch reconciliation.
- Payroll disbursement — bKash salary payouts, bank file formats, tax rules.
- Approval workflows — leave, loan, claim, overtime chains that match local hierarchies.
- Why generic cloud HR tools from the US often fall short here.
This post is being expanded with vendor-by-vendor evaluation notes. For now, if HR software for your SME is on the shortlist, this list is a useful starting point.
