Workers and employers to be compulsorily registered in labor registry
The government has announced that it will enact a law to take legal action against labor exploitation as an economic crime.
Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle, while presenting the budget on Friday, said that labor disputes will be resolved quickly through labor tribunals by mid-Poush. ‘A law will be made to bring violation of labor agreements, wage fraud and labor exploitation into the legal system as economic crimes,’ he said.
He said that arrangements will be made for workers and employers to be compulsorily registered in the labor registry. ‘This will make it mandatory for insurance and wages provided by organizations licensed to supply security guards and domestic workers in addition to construction, agriculture, transportation and industrial workers to be paid through banks,’ he said.
He said that the mandatory compensation and insurance claim system for workplace accidents will be made more effective. ‘We will launch a special campaign to include workers working in the informal and unorganized sectors in the social security system,’ he said.
