What does it do?

  • To register an establishment-level union, an officer chosen by its executive committee must apply to the Registrar on the Schedule-1 form with a Rs 150 fee. The application must list the union's name, address and founding date, three copies of its constitution, its officers, and every member's name, age, job and length of service, plus a statement that the members have not joined another union at the same establishment. If everything is in order, the Registrar enters the union in the register and issues a certificate.प्रतिष्ठानस्तरको ट्रेड युनियन दर्ता गराउन कार्य समितिले तोकेको पदाधिकारीले एक सय पचास रुपैयाँ दर्ता दस्तुरसहित अनुसूची-१ को ढाँचामा पञ्जिकाधिकारीसमक्ष दरखास्त दिनुपर्छ। दरखास्तमा युनियनको नाम, ठेगाना, गठन मिति, विधानका तीन प्रति, पदाधिकारीको विवरण र प्रत्येक सदस्यको नाम, उमेर, काम र सेवा अवधि खुलाउनुपर्छ। सदस्यले सोही प्रतिष्ठानको अर्को युनियनको सदस्यता नलिएको स्वीकारोक्ति पनि चाहिन्छ। रीत पुगेमा पञ्जिकाधिकारीले दर्ता किताबमा दर्ता गरी प्रमाणपत्र दिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 3(1)-(2) and 4, PDF pp. 1-2; Schedules 1-2, PDF pp. 9-10
  • Larger bodies register the same way, with higher fees: Rs 500 for a trade union federation (with a copy of the agreement between its member unions) and Rs 1,000 for a trade union confederation (with a copy of the agreement between its member federations). Two or more unions in one establishment that merge into a single new union apply with a Rs 150 fee, attaching the number of members' votes cast for the merger.ठूला सङ्गठन पनि यसैगरी तर बढी दस्तुर तिरेर दर्ता हुन्छन्: ट्रेड युनियन सङ्घका लागि पाँच सय रुपैयाँ (सदस्य युनियनबीचको सम्झौताको प्रतिलिपिसहित) र ट्रेड युनियन महासङ्घका लागि एक हजार रुपैयाँ (सदस्य सङ्घबीचको सम्झौताको प्रतिलिपिसहित)। एउटै प्रतिष्ठानका दुई वा बढी युनियन मिलेर बनेको नयाँ युनियनले एक सय पचास रुपैयाँ दस्तुरसहित दरखास्त दिनुपर्छ र सम्मिलनको पक्षमा सदस्यले खसालेको मत सङ्ख्या खुलाउनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 5-8 and 14(1)-(3), PDF pp. 2-8
  • A union must apply to the Registrar to renew its registration three months before the period in Section 7क of the Act ends. The fee is Rs 75 for an establishment-level union, Rs 250 for a federation and Rs 500 for a confederation. Late applications within that period pay 25 per cent extra; after a Registrar's notice, a union may still apply within six months of expiry with 50 per cent extra. After that, its registration lapses.ट्रेड युनियनले ऐनको दफा ७क मा उल्लिखित अवधि सकिनुभन्दा तीन महिनाअघि पञ्जिकाधिकारीसमक्ष नवीकरणको दरखास्त दिनुपर्छ। दस्तुर प्रतिष्ठानस्तरको युनियनका लागि रु. ७५, सङ्घका लागि रु. २५० र महासङ्घका लागि रु. ५०० छ। सो अवधिभित्र ढिलो दरखास्त दिए पच्चीस प्रतिशत थप दस्तुर लाग्छ; पञ्जिकाधिकारीको सूचनापछि अवधि सकिएको छ महिनाभित्र पचास प्रतिशत थप दस्तुरसहित दरखास्त दिन सकिन्छ। त्यसपछि युनियनको दर्ता कायम रहँदैन। Nepal Law Commission Rule 9(1)-(7), PDF pp. 5-6; Schedule 7, PDF p. 15 (both as amended by the First Amendment, 2077)
  • To decide which union in an establishment speaks for the workers in collective bargaining with management, the Registrar must hold an election to see which union has the support of a majority of workers. The Registrar may appoint an employee as election officer, and must issue election directives with government approval. The establishment must pay the full cost of the election. Within 15 days of the winning union giving written notice, the Registrar must give it an authorised-union certificate.व्यवस्थापकसँग सामूहिक सौदाबाजी गर्न कामदारको तर्फबाट कुन युनियनलाई आधिकारिक ट्रेड युनियन मान्ने भन्ने निर्धारण गर्न पञ्जिकाधिकारीले कुन युनियनले कामदारको बहुमत पाएको छ भनी निर्वाचन गराउनुपर्छ। पञ्जिकाधिकारीले कुनै कर्मचारीलाई निर्वाचन अधिकृत तोक्न सक्छ र नेपाल सरकारको स्वीकृति लिई निर्वाचनसम्बन्धी निर्देशिका बनाई लागू गर्नुपर्छ। निर्वाचनको सम्पूर्ण खर्च सम्बन्धित प्रतिष्ठानले बेहोर्नुपर्छ। बहुमत पाउने युनियनले लिखित सूचना दिएको पन्ध्र दिनभित्र पञ्जिकाधिकारीले आधिकारिक ट्रेड युनियनको प्रमाणपत्र दिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 10-13, PDF p. 6; Schedule 8, PDF p. 16
