What does it do?
- The Government of Nepal may hire a person on contract only in two situations: when no suitable person is available within the relevant civil service to do a particular job, or when a specialist government employee is retiring, no other qualified employee can take over the work, and that person is especially suitable. Before hiring, the government must consult the Ministry of General Administration and the Public Service Commission, giving the situation and the reason.नेपाल सरकारले दुई अवस्थामा मात्र कसैलाई करारद्वारा काममा लगाउन सक्छ: कुनै खास काम गर्न सम्बन्धित निजामती सेवाभित्र उपयुक्त व्यक्ति नभएमा, वा कुनै विशेषज्ञ कर्मचारी अवकाश हुँदा निजको काम सम्हाल्ने अर्को योग्य सरकारी कर्मचारी नभई निज नै विशेष रूपमा उपयुक्त भएमा। काममा लगाउनुअघि त्यसको अवस्था र कारण खुलाई सामान्य प्रशासन मन्त्रालय र लोक सेवा आयोगको परामर्श लिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 3 and 5, PDF p. 2
- A contract may run for at most 2 years and, if needed, may be extended once for up to 2 more years. In special cases, specialists may be hired for up to 5 years at a time. The contract must clearly state the duties, pay and benefits, period and other terms. It is signed by the person and the authorising officer, and each side keeps a copy.करार बढीमा २ वर्षका लागि मात्र गर्न सकिन्छ र आवश्यक परे एक पटक अर्को २ वर्षसम्म थप्न सकिन्छ। विशेष अवस्थामा विशेषज्ञलाई एकै पटक ५ वर्षसम्म करारमा राख्न सकिन्छ। करारनामामा काम र कर्तव्य, पारिश्रमिक र सुविधा, अवधि तथा अन्य शर्त स्पष्ट लेख्नुपर्छ र दुवै पक्षको दस्तखत गरी एक प्रति व्यक्तिलाई र एक प्रति कार्यालयमा राख्नुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 2(2)-(3), PDF pp. 1-2
- A person cannot be hired on contract if a court has convicted them of a criminal offence involving moral turpitude, or if they were dismissed from service in a way that normally bars them from future government jobs.नैतिक पतन देखिने फौजदारी अभियोगमा अदालतबाट दोषी ठहरिएको वा भविष्यमा सरकारी नोकरीका लागि सामान्यतः अयोग्य ठहरिने गरी बर्खास्त भएको व्यक्तिलाई करारमा काममा लगाउन सकिँदैन। Nepal Law Commission Rule 4, PDF p. 2
- Every contract must require the person to follow the conduct rules that apply to civil servants. It must also allow the government to end the contract if the person breaks those rules, fails to do the assigned work, is corrupt, commits a crime involving moral turpitude, or repeatedly drinks alcohol during office hours. The government may recover compensation for any loss caused by breaking the contract or acting irresponsibly.करारनामामा करारमा काम गर्ने व्यक्तिले निजामती कर्मचारीले पालना गर्नुपर्ने आचरण पालना गर्नुपर्ने शर्त राख्नुपर्छ। त्यस्तो आचरण पालना नगरेमा, तोकिएको जिम्मेवारी पूरा नगरेमा, भ्रष्टाचार गरेमा, नैतिक पतन देखिने फौजदारी अपराध गरेमा वा कार्यालय समयमा बराबर मादक पदार्थ सेवन गरेमा सरकारले करार अन्त्य गर्न सक्ने शर्त पनि राख्नुपर्छ। करारविपरीत वा गैरजिम्मेवार कामबाट सरकारलाई हानि भएमा सरकारले हर्जाना भराउन सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 6(क)-(ग), PDF pp. 2-3
