What is HR outsourcing in Sri Lanka?

HR outsourcing means delegating some or all of your human resources function to an external specialist. In Sri Lanka, HR compliance is complex - the Termination of Employment of Workmen Act, Wages Board Orders, EPF/ETF obligations, and Maternity Benefits Ordinance all impose specific duties on employers. WinCore's HR outsourcing team manages these obligations on your behalf, providing compliant documentation, process management, and ongoing advice so you focus on your business.

Can WinCore handle recruitment as part of HR outsourcing?▾
Yes. Recruitment is a core module within WinCore's HR outsourcing. We manage job description drafting, advertising, candidate screening, interview coordination, reference checking, and offer management. End to end. You make the final hiring decision; we manage the process.
What is the difference between HR outsourcing and HR consulting?▾
HR consulting typically delivers a project output. A policy document, a compliance report, a salary benchmarking exercise - and then the engagement ends. HR outsourcing is an ongoing managed service where WinCore acts as your external HR department for a fixed monthly retainer, handling day-to-day HR operations and compliance on a continuous basis.

What your team keeps vs. what WinCore manages
