Payroll software for service businesses and agencies in Bangladesh
Salary structures, leave entitlements and approvals, attendance or time entry, and income tax slabs configurable per financial year. Payroll is processed, approved and finalised with PDF payslips for every employee.
A services firm is its payroll. Salaries are the largest cost, the staff are professionals who notice mistakes, and leave balances are a source of disagreement precisely because nobody writes them down consistently.
The volume is small enough that a spreadsheet appears to work, which is why so many firms stay on one until an audit, a tax question or a resignation makes them prove what was actually paid and what leave was actually taken.
What goes wrong for service businesses
Everyday problems in this trade, from the industry guide.
-
Quotations and invoices in Word
Each quotation is a copy of the last one with the client name changed. Numbering breaks, terms differ between staff, and the accepted quote has to be retyped as an invoice with fresh mistakes.
-
Retainers billed late or missed
Monthly retainers, hosting fees and maintenance contracts are invoiced when someone remembers. Cash flow suffers, clients pay late because the bill arrived late, and revenue lands in the wrong month.
-
Staff expenses on scraps of paper
Transport, client entertainment and small purchases are claimed with receipts in an envelope. Approvals are verbal, reimbursements are delayed, and nobody knows the true cost of a project.
-
Payroll and leave in a spreadsheet
Salaries, leave balances and income tax deductions are tracked in Excel by one person. Tax slab changes each financial year are applied by hand and payslips are typed one at a time.
Payroll, leave and income tax
How HR & Payroll handles it.
Salary structures, leave entitlements and approvals, attendance or time entry, and income tax slabs configurable per financial year. Payroll is processed, approved and finalised with PDF payslips for every employee.
What you get
The parts of HR & Payroll that matter most here.
-
Employee records and onboarding
Keep each employee profile, documents, employment type, position, department and location in one record, with an onboarding checklist for new joiners. Warning letters and disciplinary actions are filed against the same profile.
-
Leave and time-off workflow
Set leave types and yearly entitlements, let employees apply for leave, time off or work from home, and route requests through an approval workflow. Holidays are configured once per year for every branch.
-
Salary structures and payheads
Build salary structures from components such as basic, house rent, medical and conveyance, assign them to employees, and add allowances or deductions per person. Salary advances are recovered from later payroll runs.
-
Income tax by slab
Configure income tax slabs per financial year following the NBR circular, record employee tax declarations, and let payroll deduct tax each month. Deductions are tracked so remittance to the government is a report, not a hunt.
-
Payroll run with approval
Generate payroll for a period, review the entries, then approve, disburse and finalize as separate steps. Disbursement creates bank transfer records per employee, and the salary sheet exports for your bank or accountant.
-
PDF payslips by email
Generate payslips for the whole period at once, download them as PDFs or email them to staff individually or in bulk. Final settlement handles leavers with outstanding dues and advances.
A working day for service businesses
The sequence this trade actually runs, from the industry guide.
-
Send a quotation
A new client request becomes a quotation from a template with your standard terms. When accepted it converts to a sales order without retyping.
-
Deliver and invoice
The invoice is issued from the order, with Mushak 6.3 where the client needs a tax invoice. Payment by bank or bKash is recorded against it.
-
Approve staff expenses
Staff submit expenses by category, managers approve in the workflow, and approved claims are marked paid in bulk and posted to the right cost centre.
-
Post recurring entries
Recurring journals for rent, retainers and subscriptions post on schedule, and bank transactions are imported and reconciled against the ledger.
-
Run payroll and close the month
Leave and attendance feed payroll, tax is deducted by slab, payslips go out, depreciation runs on assets and the accounting period is locked.
Questions
Answered plainly, including where the answer is no.
Are leave balances tracked automatically?
Yes. Leave types, entitlements, applications and an approval workflow keep balances current, so what is left is a number in the system rather than a recollection.
Do staff get their own payslips?
Payslips are produced as PDFs and can go out by email, which removes the monthly round of individual requests.
