UK hours, converted to Lahore time

Your team works your business day. Here is what that shift looks like in Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5).

Your locationYour hoursLahore — British Summer Time (Mar–Oct)Lahore — GMT (Oct–Mar)
UK office hours9am–5pm UK1pm–9pm2pm–10pm
Early UK cover8am–4pm UK12pm–8pm1pm–9pm

UK hours land in Lahore's afternoon and evening, so this is a day shift for our team — no night work needed. Pakistan doesn't change its clocks, so the Lahore start moves by one hour when the UK does.

How hiring works for UK companies

1. Brief

Tell us the role, the tools and your hours. We reply within one business day with a flat monthly rate.

2. Interview

We shortlist pre-vetted candidates. You interview them yourself and choose — we never force a hire.

3. Start

Most roles go from brief to working staff in 15–25 days. You direct the daily work; we handle payroll, HR and the workstation.

Contracts and invoicing

You sign one services agreement with TechKoders (Private) Limited and pay one monthly invoice. The person is employed and paid by us in Pakistan — they are not on your PAYE payroll. Your accountant will advise how the invoice is treated in your books.

What it costs against a local hire

A UK-based admin hire costs well above salary once employer National Insurance, pension contributions and desk costs are added. A dedicated bookkeeper through TechKoders is £899 a month, all-inclusive. No setup fee, no deposit, monthly rolling agreement, and a free replacement if a hire isn't working out.
