Sri Lanka Compliance

In Sri Lanka, compliance is governed by the Department of Labour and key acts like the Employees' Provident Fund Act. Employers must contribute approximately 12% to the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) pension scheme, with total statutory costs often reaching 10-20%. The standard payroll cycle is monthly. A key risk for foreign employers is misclassifying workers and missing EPF filings, leading to severe penalties. PayDD, as the legal Employer of Record, assumes all liability, ensuring accurate classification, timely monthly filings, and remittance of all contributions, fully mitigating this risk.

Case Study

A UK-based digital marketing agency struggled with slow, expensive SWIFT payments to their contractors in Sri Lanka and feared misclassification risks. By using PayDD's EOR service, they gained compliant contractor engagement and leveraged our T+0 instant settlement to fund payroll. This eliminated SWIFT's 5-day delays and reduced international transfer fees by 70%. Their team now receives reliable, fast USD payments via local bank transfer, allowing the agency to scale its Sri Lankan talent pool with confidence.
