HR and payroll compliance in Pakistan

Orvo HCM keeps each country's rules out of its core, in a country pack. Here is what works for companies in Pakistan today, and what the Pakistan pack will add.

Available today in Pakistan

  • Employee records for every company

    One record per person from hire to exit, for each company you run in Pakistan and abroad, each company with its own base currency, such as PKR.

  • Sites in every province

    Each establishment keeps its province and time zone, so rules that depend on where people work can follow the site, not the head office.

  • Biometric attendance

    ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices send punches to the cloud, or through an on-site gateway that holds them until they are safely received.

  • Leave and approvals

    Leave types, balances, and requests on web and mobile, approved by the right people in order, with every decision kept on record.

What the Pakistan country pack will cover

Payroll for Pakistan will come with its country pack. It will cover:

  • Income tax on salary

    Tax withheld each month under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, projected over the tax year from July to June, with each employee's tax certificate.

  • EOBI

    Employer and employee contributions to the Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution, with a monthly contribution report for each company.

  • Provincial social security

    Contributions to PESSI in Punjab, SESSI in Sindh, and the institutions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, chosen by the province of each site.

  • Provident fund and gratuity

    Provident fund contributions and loans, gratuity accrued each month, and the final settlement when someone leaves.

  • Minimum wage checks

    A check that each employee's pay meets the minimum wage notified for the province where they work.

  • Working time and leave rules

    Overtime and rest under the Factories Act and the shops and establishments laws, and statutory leave as starting policies you can make more generous.

Every rate, slab, and threshold will be entered from official notifications and checked by payroll advisers before it is used. None will be guessed.
