Navigating Compliance Under the Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act, 2026
Following the historic enactment of the Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act, 2026, which introduces sweeping overhauls to the foundational Bangladesh Labour Act of 2006, the country's employment and industrial relations landscape has fundamentally shifted. To help stakeholders adapt to these immediate legislative changes and meet the rigorous standards demanded by the ILO and the EU's GSP+ framework, Rahman's Chambers cordially invites you to an exclusive hybrid seminar exploring the transition to modern workplace compliance and the strategic viability of upgraded corporate governance structures.
Designed specifically for HR executives, industrial policymakers, private investors, multinational brands sourcing from Bangladesh, and compliance officers, this seminar will provide the critical legal and financial foresight needed to thrive in Bangladesh's restructured employment market.
Key Topics of Discussion
Enhanced Leave Policies & Fair Wage Execution
Navigating the expansion of maternity leave to a unified 120 days, the increase in annual festival holidays to 13 days, and strict adherence to equal pay without discrimination.
Workplace Harassment & Anti-Discrimination
Establishing the newly mandated female-led, 5-member Complaint Resolution Committees and implementing zero-tolerance policies against gender-based violence.
Financial Liabilities & Social Security
Understanding the new central Employment Injury Scheme Fund and the strategic option to integrate with the Universal Pension Scheme ("Pragati") as a legal alternative to traditional Provident Funds.
