An employment contract is the foundation of the employer-employee relationship. In Nepal, contracts are governed by the Labour Act, 2017 (2074), which sets standards for wages, working hours, benefits, and termination. Without a well-drafted contract, both employers and employees risk misunderstandings, disputes, and legal liabilities.
At Mijar Law Associates, we help businesses and employees draft, review, and negotiate employment contracts that are clear, fair, and enforceable. Our services ensure compliance with labor laws while protecting the rights and obligations of both parties.
