PEO Services for a Growing Technology Company in Sri Lanka

Building a Professional HR Function Alongside Rapid Workforce Growth

A growing Sri Lankan technology company was expanding its workforce as new projects, clients, and business requirements increased. While the company had strong technical and management capabilities, its HR infrastructure had not developed at the same pace.

As the number of employees increased, management faced a growing volume of responsibilities involving payroll, employee records, onboarding, leave, HR policies, statutory administration, and employee support.

The company partnered with Formix to implement a PEO solution in Sri Lanka, providing the HR infrastructure required to support its expanding workforce.

The Challenge

The company’s management team wanted to concentrate on technology, product development, customer relationships, and business growth rather than spending increasing amounts of time on administrative HR responsibilities.

At the same time, the organization needed a professional HR process that could support employees consistently. Payroll needed to be processed accurately, employee records needed to be maintained, leave and attendance required proper administration, and HR policies needed to be documented and implemented.

The company therefore needed an HR partner capable of providing structure without taking control away from management.

Formix as the PEO Partner

Formix worked with the company’s leadership team to understand its workforce structure, existing HR processes, employee requirements, and future growth plans.

Our team then established a structured PEO support model covering payroll administration, employee documentation, onboarding, leave management, HR records, statutory administration, HR policies, and employee support.

The technology company retained responsibility for managing its employees and making business decisions, while Formix provided the HR infrastructure and professional administration required to support those decisions.

Payroll and Statutory Administration

Payroll became one of the central components of the PEO engagement. Formix established a structured monthly payroll process and supported the administration of applicable statutory employment contributions.

For eligible employees, this included EPF and ETF administration. Sri Lanka’s minimum EPF contribution is currently 8% from the employee and 12% from the employer, while the ETF contribution is 3% from the employer based on monthly total earnings.

By centralizing these processes, the company gained a more consistent approach to payroll and statutory administration while reducing the administrative workload placed on its management team.

Creating Consistent Employee Processes

As the workforce expanded, consistency became increasingly important. Formix helped establish structured processes for onboarding new employees, maintaining employee records, managing leave, documenting HR policies, and handling routine employee administration.

This gave employees a clearer HR support structure while allowing management to maintain visibility over workforce-related matters.

The PEO model also created a central point for HR administration, reducing the need for management to manage separate processes across different employees and departments.

Supporting Growth Without Building a Large HR Department

One of the primary advantages of the PEO model was scalability. The company could increase its workforce while Formix continued providing the supporting HR infrastructure.

Instead of hiring additional HR personnel every time the workforce increased, the company could leverage Formix’s established HR capabilities and expand the level of support according to its requirements.

This allowed the technology company to concentrate its resources on business growth while maintaining a professional employee management structure.

The Outcome

Formix helped the technology company establish a more structured HR and payroll function while supporting its continued workforce growth.

The company gained centralized payroll and HR administration, structured employee records, improved onboarding processes, leave management, statutory administration, and ongoing HR support without having to build a large internal HR department.

The engagement demonstrated how PEO services for technology companies in Sri Lanka can provide growing organizations with professional HR infrastructure while allowing management to retain direct control over employees and business operations.
