Employment and Labour Law in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's employment law framework is primarily governed by the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended in 2013 and 2018) and the Bangladesh Labour Rules, 2015. These statutes set out minimum employment standards, termination procedures, compensation requirements, occupational health and safety obligations, and trade union rights applicable to most private sector employers.
