Notice period and notice pay in Bangladesh
A permanent worker who resigns must give 60 days' written notice under section 27(3), or lose wages for the days short. An employer terminating a permanent monthly-paid worker without misconduct must give 120 days' notice or pay wages in lieu under section 26(3), and retrenchment needs one month's notice or pay.
Termination and retrenchment calculatorHow much notice must I give to resign?
60 days’ written notice for a permanent worker (section 27(3)). If you leave earlier, the employer may deduct wages for the missing days from your final settlement.
How much notice must my employer give?
- Termination without misconduct (section 26): 120 days for a permanent monthly-paid worker, or wages for those days instead.
- Retrenchment (section 20): one month, or a month’s wages instead.
- Discharge for ill health, dismissal and retirement: no notice rule in the Act.
How is notice pay worked out?
days short × one day’s wage
One day’s wage is basic plus dearness allowance divided by 30. Pawna adds notice pay to your settlement when the employer gave less notice than the Act requires, and deducts it when you gave less.
What about officers and managers?
If your appointment letter sets a notice period, that applies to you. Common periods are 30, 60 or 90 days, sometimes priced on gross pay. Use the officer calculator to enter your own terms.
