‘International Labor Law’ an open irony to the NGO workers of Bangladesh




Eight hours office time’, ‘Weekly forty five hours duty’, ‘International larbor law standard’ all the above mentioned quotes are open paradox for the NGO workers of Bangladesh. Except some of the NGOs (international or very few national), NGO of Bangladesh are violating human rights by plea of rules and regulations. But the rules and regulations are one way. I have data from a random survey among the NGO workers from different NGOs in Bangladesh. The following complains or data I have found from the above mentioned survey. If anybody differ with these findings, please contact with me (exp2opi@gmail.com) and I am ready to show my data with practical example.



The findings:

  • The NGOs use provident fund as an issue to . . . the staff from his job.
  • The rules of NGOs changes time to time.
  • A staff should notice his resignation before 30 calendar days, the NGO authority can terminate him at any time and without any prior notice.
  • Yearly increment is not for all, it is not also mandatory.
  •  A staff should obey the relative of executive director even if he does not exist in the same program. The said relative has termination power also. There is a different article (SSC isequivalent to Masters Degree).




  • The official car may be used to carry the daughters/sons of executive director but staffs have no right to get the car for official purpose.
  • Sometimes a staff even does not know the reason of the cutoff of his salary.
  • Same staffs have multiple file for multiple projects. One staff has to face multiple donors as a project staff.
  • Office time has no limitation. There is a service rule, but the staffs have never seen it. It is only for donor.
  • Gender policy is a virtual word, staffs have never seen it.
  • Leave policy is a property of NGO. It is not for the staffs but for the donors.
  • One staff has to tell different salary structure before the representatives of different donors.
