Statutory employment compliance in Sri Lanka goes well beyond simply paying salaries. From the moment you hire your first employee, you are subject to a continuous set of legal obligations under the EPF Act, the ETF Act, the Wages Board Ordinance, and the Labour Department regulations.
EPF Registration & Contributions
View Details →
Registration of your business with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's EPF division and monthly remittance of contributions — employer at 12% and employee at 8% of gross salary.
When you need this
You are hiring your first employee and need to register for EPF immediately. You have been operating without EPF registration and need to regularise your position. Your employee is seeking their EPF balance and you have not been making contributions.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro registers your business for EPF, calculates monthly contributions for every employee, prepares contribution schedules (Form C), and remits payments to the Central Bank by the statutory deadline — with zero risk of penalty.
ETF Contributions
View Details →
Monthly remittance of Employees' Trust Fund contributions at 3% of gross salary — an employer-only contribution that does not require separate employee deduction.
When you need this
You were unaware the ETF contribution is the employer's sole obligation. You have been incorrectly deducting ETF from employee salaries. Your ETF contributions have not been kept up to date.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro calculates and remits your ETF contributions monthly using your EPF number (no separate registration required), ensuring your employees' trust fund entitlements are protected and your compliance record is clean.
Department of Labour Registration
View Details →
Registration of your business with the Department of Labour and compliance with the Shops & Offices Act — including display of required notices, maintenance of attendance registers, and compliance with working hours regulations.
When you need this
You have opened a new office and need to register with the Department of Labour. You are preparing for a Labour Department inspection and want to ensure compliance. A staff complaint has been filed with the Labour Department.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro manages your Department of Labour registration, ensures all required workplace notices are in place, and advises on compliance with the Shops & Offices Act — minimising your exposure to labour inspection findings.
Gratuity Computation & Provision
View Details →
The calculation of employees' statutory gratuity entitlements under the Gratuity Act — payable to employees who complete 5 or more years of continuous service.
When you need this
A long-serving employee is leaving and you need to calculate their gratuity. Your auditor has asked for the gratuity provision in your financial statements. You have no idea of your total gratuity liability.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro calculates each employee's gratuity entitlement monthly, maintains a gratuity provision schedule for accounting purposes, and computes final gratuity payments accurately when employees leave — protecting you from disputes and surprises.
Statutory Records Maintenance
View Details →
The maintenance of all employment-related statutory records — attendance registers, wages registers, leave records, and employee files — in the format required by the Department of Labour.
When you need this
The Department of Labour has notified you of an inspection. An employment dispute has arisen and you need to produce historical attendance and salary records. Your company is being audited and the auditor requires employment records.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro maintains all mandatory employment records in the correct statutory format — ensuring you can produce clean, complete documentation for any Labour Department inspection, audit, or dispute proceeding.
Annual Employer Returns
View Details →
Annual statutory returns filed with the Central Bank (EPF), ETF Board, and Inland Revenue Department reconciling all employment income, contributions, and deductions for the year.
When you need this
Your financial year has ended and annual returns are due to multiple authorities simultaneously. You have been operating with temporary staff and are unsure of your annual return obligations. A prior-year return error needs to be corrected.
How Siyenro delivers it
Siyenro prepares and files all annual employer returns across the IRD, Central Bank (EPF), and ETF Board — ensuring every reconciliation is accurate, every deadline is met, and any historical errors are corrected through the appropriate amendment process.
