Final settlement: paid within 30 working days
Under section 123(2) of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, all dues of a worker who leaves, whether by resignation, termination, retrenchment, discharge, dismissal or retirement, must be paid within 30 working days of the last working day.
Final settlement calculatorWhat must be paid?
Everything you are owed at the end of the job:
- the service benefit or gratuity for your kind of exit;
- notice pay, if the employer gave short notice;
- pay for unused annual leave (section 11);
- unpaid salary for days already worked.
How are the 30 working days counted?
Pawna counts 30 working days from your last working day and skips Fridays and Saturdays. It does not know your employer’s holiday calendar, so public holidays are not removed. The real date may be a few days later.
Example: a last working day of Friday 13 November 2026 gives a deadline of about Thursday 24 December 2026.
What if my employer pays late?
Ask in writing, with your calculation and the section numbers. Keep your appointment letter, payslips and release letter. If that fails, you can contact the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE), or take legal advice about the Labour Court.
What should I check before I sign?
Compare the employer’s statement line by line with your Pawna result. The usual gaps are leave days, the basic used for the day wage, and whether gratuity was compared with the benefit.
