1. Are they a legally registered company—or just a shell entity? Many so-called “PEOs” in Sri Lanka are technically incorporated—but function as shell companies with no real directors, no local accountability, and all foreign shareholders. In a country with strict labor laws—where directors carry personal liability for statutory compliance—this structure exposes both employers and employees to serious legal risk. ExroAsia is a fully registered Sri Lankan entity with real local directors, in-country teams, and full statutory alignment. We operate with responsibility—where others avoid it.
2. Do they follow labor laws and statutory rules? Verify that your provider aligns with EPF, ETF, gratuity (when applicable), leave, and termination obligations. ExroAsia ensures airtight compliance with every aspect of Sri Lankan labor law.
3. Do they honor gratuity obligations even at low employee volumes? Some providers with small headcounts sidestep gratuity obligations—hurting long-tenured staff. ExroAsia upholds fairness by applying best practices even in edge scenarios.
4. Can they manage tax submissions and payroll accurately? Precision matters. Payroll should meet IRD standards with no late filings or calculation errors. ExroAsia runs IRD-compliant payroll systems—with verified payslips and timely contributions.
5. Are their contracts legally valid and locally compliant? Avoid generic templates. Contracts should reflect Sri Lankan law in structure and substance. ExroAsia creates custom contracts with all necessary clauses for probation, notice, and benefits.
6. Do they provide expat visa processing (if needed)? If you’re hiring foreign talent, legal sponsorship capabilities are essential. ExroAsia is authorized to handle visa formalities through compliant government channels.
7. Are all service fees disclosed transparently? Look out for hidden costs or vague line items. ExroAsia provides clear, upfront pricing—with no fine print or surprise charges.
8. Do they have a real team in Sri Lanka—not just remote agents? On-ground presence matters for issue resolution, local filings, and HR responsiveness. ExroAsia has full-time Colombo-based teams delivering real-time support.
9. Do they take care of employee well being—not just costs? PEOs should balance employer needs with proper employee experience and retention. ExroAsia manages benefits, communication, and HR touchpoints with integrity.
10. Can they scale with you beyond Sri Lanka? You may need to expand to other countries—choose a PEO partner that can grow with you. ExroAsia operates in 21+ countries across Asia Pacific—giving you flexibility for the future.
