Your Guide to set up a Business in Sri Lanka

Post-civil war, economic growth and strategic location are only few factors for anyone to make a decision to set up a business in Sri Lanka. With a lot of opportunities, Sri Lanka aims to become a middle income country with long term plans and sustainable development. With Sri Lanka’s growth over the years, many businesses and investors have expressed their interest to set up businesses within the country and therefore government put up a plan to support the investors in every way possible.

There are multiple ways to set up entities, however here is a basic guide to follow.

Understand the industries of ownership

Different industries have specific and different regulations when it comes to ownership, there are some industries which is specifically reserved for Sri Lankans, some allow up to 40% ownership and there are certain industries which allow 100% ownership for a foreigner. It is important to identify which industry to step into considering the assets and resource pool that the country has to offer. There are government and regulatory bodies which would support large scale projects, while there are experts such as ExroAsia who would support the decision with research, documentation and managing the entire process.

Understand the different business entities in Sri Lanka

It is important to understand the different business entities in Sri Lanka and the process before starting on the documentation. There are unincorporated business types as well as incorporated business types in Sri Lanka. Many go with incorporated business i.e. private limited companies, public limited companies and companies limited by guarantee. Many foreign companies look into opening subsidiaries or branches in Sri Lanka which makes the process easier. Choosing the right type is important, once that is done the next step would be to register the name of the company.

Getting the right documents and incorporating the business entity

Once the legal status is classified under the Sri Lankan law, the capacity of the company, scope and details then begins the registration process. It is necessary to get a company secretary designated within the country before the company registration. Every company needs to have a company secretary and a director once that is sorted, it is required to submit documents to the Registrar of the department of companies.

Paying International Employees Compliantly

An increasingly painful problem that arises with international expansion is, how to pay employees compliantly. This is one of the good problems to have when growing, but has to be managed correctly to avoid complications in the future. Deepening on where employees are located, they will fall into government regulations and company labor laws that will not be covered in international money transfers.

If the company fail to comply with local law and regulations such as pay, bonus, claims, overtime, taxes etc there would be severe repercussions which might include court cases and penalties which would also include a bad reputation. Despite the good intentions and goodwill of the company wanting to adhere to all these policies, being compliant might not be easy, as it requires a series of things for each country that needs to be adhered to. That is why outsourcing this service has become one of the most used strategies for global companies. There are two methods when outsourcing payroll to a third party to follow.

Hiring employees as independent contractors

Many think this is the easiest way forward, which could be for an assignment based job requirement. However, what most companies don’t understand is that most roles require a job that a full-time resource would do and this often leads to a company being non-compliant which becomes a major issue much later on. If an independent contractor is being treated as an employee or is visibly misunderstood by the government or other authorities that it could be an employee, then it is an issue in the long run. As long as the company adheres to the criteria that differentiates an employee and a contractor, then this is one successful method for the company.

Hiring employees as direct hires and paying internationally

To be able to pay as direct hires, firstly the company has to be established as a legal entity in the country where the employees are located. Once the entity has been established, the country’s employees will fall under the normal payroll procedure. There is a massive risk involved in this entire process, as it would take time, money and effort to establish an entity, hence it is a strategic decision if the process is worth in the long run. Although entity has given access to pay employees directly, there is a legal process involved in payroll. The company has to comply with law and regulations while managing a workforce in the country.

Both methods are not easy, that is why there are experts such as ExroAsia who can take up your burden in paying and managing payroll for international employees. Message us for a free consultation.

Why you need to Consider Outsourcing your HR when Expanding Internationally

All companies have steady policies and regulations in an HR department and usually managed quite effectively with minimal issues. However which could be a challenge when expanding globally, as HR is an area which has to be carefully developed into an internationally equipped HR department to overcome the challenges that take place during expansion.

Given below are few aspects of HR that has to be carefully considered during a global expansion.

Recruitment

One of the most key areas to success is finding and recruiting the right talent to take over the newly established entity, and this usually comes with many challenges. If current recruitment is managed in-house then the methods of recruitment has to be changed according to the region that they operate in. It is important to do a research on the country’s talent pool to identify the gaps and challenges which may come across your standard job role, it is important to rectify before looking for the right people to recruit. Understand the labor market, be aware of legal process of hiring employees and ensure that proper protocol is followed during the process. It is important to blend in within the country’s recruitment channels, have a clear understanding of platforms to publish ads and have few head hunters or advisors in place to bring in right talent to the company.

Regulations

HR has to have a clear knowledge and understanding of different regulations that govern the labor relationships within the region. It could vary from government regulations, national labor laws to industry regulations. The International HR needs to have a solid understanding on holidays, employee rights within the countries and industries. It could be the simplest regulations such as working hours, minimum wage and overtime rates, allowance for maternity leave or employee termination regulations; but if not complied can be risked for penalties and tarnish the image of the company.

Payroll

Payroll is considered as one of the highest outsourced units during global expansion. Most companies outsource for the simplest reason of the hassle and inability to place an employee in a particular region to manage payroll. Even if the company has a different entity, payroll involves a lot of complexities including different laws and compliance. Hence many companies outsource Payroll to specialists such as ExroAsia to save cost, eliminate time spent on manual processes and mainly due to security reasons. Having an in-house payroll department would require additional security measures which a middle level organisation might not be equipped to have. Outsourcing a payroll unit would ease all these extra risk factors and security issues as experts like ExroAsia are equipped with data storage and protection measures with multiple backups.

Communication

During international expansion, one of the strategies that an HR has is to have more than two official languages to be used within the company. Certain multi-national companies use 5 or more languages to communicate across regions officially.  It is important to find communication channels that would suit every employee within the company to stay connected. Global teams connect virtually on many platforms for formal and informal communications, and it is important to identify the tools that work for the teams and support employees with multiple tools so they can be connected from where ever they are.

Things to know about Remote Work Compliance

Remote work compliance has become one of the vital things for an organisation to consider along with the Pandemic. Most organisations has developed policies and regulations for remote work and soon it will become the norm. Most of the global organisations would get their employees to work from home within the next few months. There are laws that apply to temporary Work from Home situations, most of the countries have issued legislature along this line of work.

Managing Human Resources globally is not easy and there are few things that organisations should consider when building a Remote Work Compliance Policy in-house.

  • Data Compliance

Privacy and security is definitely the most important aspect of an organisation to consider, client information is extremely sensitive and it is vital to maintain privacy and security of these data when employees access information and servers from home. Complying with GDPR regulations when transferring data is a must, especially within international borders. It is important to get employees to use a VPN to ensure secured browsing, encrypt sensitive information, use two factor authentication and most importantly have privacy and security policies in place.  

  • Payroll Compliance

This is not an easy task to manage inhouse and hence most organisations hand it over to experts such as ExroAsia to manage it for them. When operating globally, this becomes challenging and extremely cumbersome due to the fact that organisation has to be aware of labor and employment laws and regulations of each country of which their employees are at. Paying the employees in accordance to country regulations is a must. That is why it is easier to outsource payroll as there are companies who are compliant and experienced in managing these activities for multiple locations.

  • Health and Safety Regulations

Taking care of an employees’ health and safety while they work remotely can be very difficult, what organisations have to understand is that, it is still their responsibility to be responsible for them.

Identify potential risks and find measures to control risks, set up a system to report and notify on accidents, injuries and grievances. Provide health and safety guidance and education to employees specially be extra cautious on mental health and wellbeing of the organisation.

  • Tools and Equipment for remote working

One of the first things to be done is to ensure that employees are equipped with necessary tools. Certain organisations reimburse employees for meals and other equipment costs while they work remotely. If countries have specific requirements, it is important to comply with those such as reimbursing for extra services such as phone, electricity and internet.

  • Intellectual Policy

One of the most important areas to consider is how an organisation plans to protect intellectual property while working remotely. Organisation should have a system in place to protect the work that employees do and find a mechanism to execute it. Execution can include identifying the countries that employees work in and register IP’s, and signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement or adding it as a clause in the employee contract.

Top 5 reasons for Small and Medium Companies to Outsource Payroll

Employees being the main asset, taking care of them by ensuring that their paycheck goes on time is one of the biggest responsibilities for any organisation. The accuracy and punctuality of the payroll process is key while adhering to government policies and tax regulations in any country. If it is a small or medium organisation, it is vital to have all these processes and policies in place to grow. While many opt to have an in-house payroll division, it has become a new favourite to outsource payroll to an expert for many beneficial reasons.

Time saved in manual processes

Managing payroll internally is one of the most tiresome and hectic tasks as there are many intricate details to look into before processing. New hires, terminations, benefits and deductions are just a few that has to be looked into for each employee. It is extremely expensive to adhere to all rules and regulations be it internal, country or globally. Outsourcing payroll to an expert in the area will not only let an organisation save time but will get rid of a mundane time consuming task. The HR team gets to focus on more strategic areas to build their employees while outsourcing payroll to a complete third party who is able to handle it with professionalism and expertise.

Reducing costs

Outsourcing a payroll function can save an organisation quite a lot, especially if it is a small or medium scale enterprise. Large enterprises can afford to be equipped with a large payroll team while it is a burden for a smaller company to maintain an entire team only for payroll. Many of the payroll activities can be handled by experts when outsourced such as payroll calculations, calculation of tax & returns, purchasing a payroll software etc.

Increased security

Payroll processing is a complex and a risky process to handle internally, especially where theft and accessibility of information is concerned. Having an in-house payroll department would require additional security measures which a middle level organisation might not be equipped to have. Outsourcing a payroll unit would ease all these extra risk factors and security issues as experts like ExroAsia are equipped with data storage and protection measures with multiple backups.

Team of experts with best practices

Outsourcing your Global Talent Acquisition in the New Normal

As the flexibility of the global workforce increases, more employers are searching for the best talent globally. Multiple factors contribute to this increased flexibility, and companies armed with the knowledge and proficiency needed to pilot a global talent pool will hire and retain the best workers in the competitive talent landscape.

One notable contributing factor is the growing economic economies in many countries around the world. Even with the Covid 19 pandemic still looming around, America is experiencing record low unemployment rates, and job growth in counties such as Australia and Singapore have maintained a strong pace. In countries with low unemployment, many employers are looking beyond their backyards for the best talent. Furthermore, workers in countries with high unemployment rates are increasingly willing to relocate for challenging and fulfilling work wherever they find an opportunity that fits their bill

Technology is making things much easier in a day and age where travel restrictions and quarantine periods have made it almost impossible to have a face to face chat with a potential employee. However, virtual interviews makes it simple to interview candidates without incurring large travel costs, and virtual reality technology could give candidates a realistic look at your office without having to cross oceans.

Through sourcing talent globally, one would also expand ones talent pool and increase the potential of finding the ideal candidate with the ideal skill set. As companies look to hire workers with the skills of the future, broadening your search across the world can keep you ahead of your competition.

Starting a global sourcing program has its own hurdles, the most apparent of which is immigration. If you are hiring expat employees to work domestically, you need to abide by the immigration laws in your country. In general, the immigration process can add cost to hiring foreign employees. However, you would find that foreign workers are more open to relocation that you would expect.

If you are recruiting from other countries as part of an effort to start a new office or venture into a new market, special attention should be given to applicable labor laws in the respective countries. For instance, in countries such as Australia, employees are entitled to long service leave, or a period of extended paid leave from work after a long period of working for the same employer. The exact requirements vary based on jurisdiction, but are in general, six to 13 weeks of leave for every seven to 10 years worked in a particular organization.

In addition to compliance matters which you would have to give extra thought to, you should also be prepared to manage the cultural differences that exist in recruiting, hiring and work cultures around the world. While a cultural mistake isn’t likely to result in legal consequences it might cause other sensitive problems. A lack of cultural literacy can lead to anything from communication confusion to a negative impact on your brand that will make it tougher to acquire quality talent.

It’s also important to understand the role social media plays in a candidate’s country. In the U.S, employers search and review posts on public social media pages which has now caught up and sort of appears to be the best method to profile a potential recruit. Some countries will have different social media sites instead of the common Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. For example, in China, western social media platforms are banned, and Weibo, WeChat and Youku are popular.

Employers should also be geared to deal with fears from current employees about replacement or outsourcing. It can be a sensitive conversation, but it is an important step to help retain employees. Establishments should work with their management and internal communications teams to frame the conversations about changes in the workplace. HR should also review conflict management best practices to ensure that any issues that develop between employees can be mediated before they come to their boiling point.

In conclusion, it all boils down to finding the right partner as employers look to start global sourcing programs, it is important to look for an RPO partner who has in depth experience with international programs and who understands the part of the world where you are looking to expand or source the ideal candidates from. Your partner should help you navigate the compliance and cultural issues that comes along with any global talent sourcing program. An RPO partner can help prepare you for a gamut of challenges before you post a job or extend an offer to a potential employee. Additionally, a partner with years of hands on experience can help you anticipate any communication and training issues so that you can overcome any hurdle that comes your way.
