Counting to Janai Purnima
Janai Purnima is the full moon on which Hindu men renew the sacred thread, the janai. The same day is Rakshabandhan, when sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers' wrists, widely kept in the Tarai. The notice lists the two as one entry.
Bhadra has more holidays than any month outside Dashain and Tihar
Janai Purnima opens a run of notice days in Bhadra 2083: Gai Jatra the next day in the Kathmandu Valley, Krishna Janmashtami and Gaura Parva together on Bhadra 19, and Teej for women on Bhadra 29.
For a monthly salaried employee none of this changes the month's pay. Nepali payroll divides a monthly salary by a flat thirty days, whatever the month holds. It changes the pay of anyone paid by the day or by attendance, and it changes how many working days a team has for month-end work.
Is Janai Purnima a paid holiday for a private company?
Only if the company picks it. Section 41 of the Labour Act 2074 fixes 13 paid public leave days a year (14 for a female employee) and leaves the choice of days to the employer; government offices close under the notice.
Nepal Rajpatra, Khanda 75, Sankhya 67, Bhag 5, clause 2.1(c).

No. A monthly salary is paid in full for a month with holidays in it. The daily rate used for deductions and overtime is the monthly figure divided by a flat thirty, by convention, not by the month's working days.
