Getting paid from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's currency is the Sri Lankan rupee (LKR). Salaries here are listed in USD, so your take-home depends on the exchange rate and the fee charged to convert it.
Foreign employers usually pay people in Sri Lanka by bank transfer or through a payments platform. As a contractor you invoice them yourself; through an employer of record you're on a local payroll in Sri Lankan rupee.
