Counting to Martyrs' Day
Martyrs' Day, Magh 16, remembers those who died for Nepal's democracy, above all the four martyrs executed under the Rana regime in 1997 BS.
Working on a holiday the company did pick
Some work cannot stop. A labour engaged on a day of public or weekly leave is owed substitute leave, and Section 42(2) requires it within 21 days of the day worked. It is a deadline, not a balance to carry forward.
This applies to the days the company picked. A notice day the company did not pick is an ordinary working day. In 2083 Martyrs' Day falls on a Saturday, so it is the rest-day rule that decides it for most offices.
Is Martyrs' Day 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.

Martyrs' Day is Magh 16 2083 BS, which is Sat, 30 Jan 2027. The date comes from clause 6.1(d) of the Government of Nepal's 2083 public holiday notice.
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.
The Labour Act answers with time, not money: substitute leave within 21 days under Section 42(2). Overtime rules apply separately to hours beyond the normal day.
