Manpower and HR
Contract staffing from Colombo
Some work needs people for months, not years. A product launch, a seasonal rush, a system migration, maternity cover or a contract you have just won all call for extra hands quickly, and permanent headcount is slow to add and hard to reverse. Contract staffing fills the gap: we recruit the people, employ them on our payroll and assign them to your work for as long as you need them.
How we work
You direct the daily work and set the targets. We take care of the employment side: contracts, salaries, EPF and ETF contributions, leave and attendance records, discipline and welfare. If someone resigns or is off sick for a long spell, finding and briefing a replacement is our job, not yours. You receive one invoice a month for the whole team instead of another payroll to run.
Good to know
Contract staff can work at your premises or from our office in Narahenpita, Colombo, where a team lead checks attendance and output every shift. Because our office is open 24/7, a contract team based with us can cover evenings, nights or overseas business hours without you having to open, staff and supervise a night shift of your own.
What is included
Recruitment to your brief
People sourced and screened for the skills, languages and shift pattern you need, and approved by you before anyone is offered a contract.
Employment contracts
Fixed-term contracts with clear duties, hours, pay and notice terms, issued and managed by us as the employer.

Monthly salaries, overtime, EPF and ETF contributions and APIT deductions calculated and paid on time, with a payslip for every worker.
Attendance and leave
Daily attendance, leave and overtime recorded for every worker and summarised with your monthly invoice.
Replacements and cover
If a worker leaves or is absent for a long period, we find and brief a replacement so the work keeps moving.
At your site or ours

What is the difference between contract staffing and permanent staffing?
With contract staffing the worker is employed by Elevracorp and assigned to your work for an agreed period, and we run their payroll and employment matters. With permanent staffing we recruit someone who joins your own payroll from day one. Contract staffing suits short or uncertain needs, while permanent staffing suits roles you expect to need for years.
Who supervises contract staffing workers day to day?
If the staff work at your premises, your supervisors direct their daily tasks and we handle employment matters such as pay, leave and discipline. If they work from our Colombo office, our team lead supervises attendance and quality against the targets and procedures you set, and you receive regular reports on the work done.
Which roles can you fill through contract staffing?
Typical contract staffing roles include customer service and call centre agents, data entry operators, admin and accounts assistants, receptionists, sales promoters and project support staff. We concentrate on roles where we can test the skills properly before placement. Tell us the role and we will say plainly whether we can fill it well.
How is contract staffing priced?
Contract staffing is usually priced per worker per month: the worker's salary, the employer's EPF and ETF contributions, and a management fee that covers recruitment, payroll, administration and replacements. Overtime and allowances are billed as worked. We send a written quote once we know the roles, numbers, shifts and expected length of the assignment.
