Most small companies in Bangladesh start with zero written HR templates. Then a new hire asks a question nobody has a consistent answer for, and someone spends an evening writing one from scratch. This is the shortlist — every template worth having before you actually need it, not after.
Leave policy template
How leave accrues, who approves it, and what counts as a valid leave request. This is the one people notice first when it’s missing, because leave disputes happen constantly and inconsistently-handled ones erode trust fast.

HR policy template
The umbrella document: working hours, code of conduct, discipline, termination, compensation basics, and a harassment complaint process. Everything else on this list is really a section of this one, pulled out because it’s long enough to deserve its own document.

Salary slip format
What a compliant salary slip actually needs to show — gross, deductions, net, and the breakdown in between. Employees ask for this constantly (loan applications, visa applications, apartment rentals), and a business without a consistent format ends up hand-building one every time someone needs it.

Work from home policy template
Eligibility, availability hours, attendance expectations, and equipment — the four things that turn “sure, work from home” into something a manager can actually enforce consistently.

Onboarding checklist
New hires forget less and cause fewer HR headaches when there’s an actual checklist — documents, system access, introductions, first-week expectations — instead of relying on whoever’s training them that week to remember everything.

Termination process
The template that matters most and gets written last. Getting notice periods and process wrong under Bangladesh labour law is the single most expensive HR mistake a growing company can make.

One place to keep all of it
A template solves the writing problem. It doesn’t solve the “which version is the real one” problem — the one where three different Google Docs exist and nobody’s sure which was last updated. Utso keeps leave rules, approval chains, and notice periods inside the actual system your team uses every day, so the policy isn’t a PDF someone has to remember to check — it’s what the software already enforces. More on that on the HR software page.
These are starting templates, not legal documents to copy verbatim. Check each one against current Bangladesh labour law, and have a labour lawyer review anything you formally roll out.
