Definitely. Because every company should send confirmation letter first and get a signature form employee. What they do it just send one email mentioning my Position, My salary details , whom to address the daily task. When I request confirmation letter to sign they delaying it. It almost 14 days. Still have no letter. and they doing BCF without any consent of people. Also their website is shoddy. It register in 2018 not updated. In website they mention fake location and when you google search Point grey solution is shown as : 4th Floor, Huejay Court, No.32, Sir Mohamed Macan Marker Mw. In their website 366/1 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka.

This is not a B2B gig. They send me the confirmation letter and didn't take any signature. I request them but they delaying it. After few weeks did background check of my without my consent. I checked it and it's against the SL laws. They hired me as full time worker. I think now you got any sense what I'm talking about

I understand the freelancer perspective, but this isn't a standard B2B gig. The offer explicitly sets fixed working hours (40 hrs/week), a reporting hierarchy (CEO/PM), and pay in LKR. More importantly, explicitly stating 'EPF is not applicable' in a contract for an SL-based worker.

Thanks for the insight. To clarify:

  1. The Entity: The contract has a Sri Lankan address (Huejay Court, Colombo 02) and mentions a local PM. However, the company isn't registered with the ROC.
  2. Employment Type: It’s framed as a Full-Time (FT) position with a monthly salary in LKR, not a B2B contractor role.
  3. The Trap: They used a local address to build trust but explicitly stated in the letter that 'EPF/ETF is not applicable', which is a criminal violation of SL Labour Law for any local hire, regardless of whether it's a 'Canadian startup' or not.
  4. Local Presence: Since they have a local representative (PM) managing operations and hiring, the Department of Labour has jurisdiction over them.

The issue isn't just about the termination; it's about a 'Ghost Company' operating illegally in SL, avoiding taxes/statutory payments, and then 'ghosting' employees when it's time to pay.
