Note:
(a) Above rates are
applicable for the professional
staff having more than 15 years
of experience.
(b) 33% deduction shall be made
for 7 to 15 years of experience.
(c) 60% deduction shall be made
for 3 to7 years of experience.
(d) The billing rates will need
periodic review/updates.
The above billing rates are
based on the various aspects
such as living and other
associated costs including the
prevailing remuneration being
paid by the Government of Nepal
as well as the donor agencies in
Nepal while hiring the
independent Nepalese consultant.
Besides, the following points
are also considered.
(1) Review of the already agreed
Monthly Billing Rates by the
Government of Nepal and Donor
Agencies under normal condition
of competition. Those agreed
Billing Rates during recession
period with job scarcity and
cut-throat competition are
ignored.
(2) Review of the salary being
paid by Multilateral and
Bilateral Aid Agencies to their
Nepalese Employees as well as
the salary paid by Nepalese
Banks, Financial Institutions
and Other Private Hotels,
Industries etc.
(3) Review of the Billing Rates
being paid to Nepalese
Consulting Firms and
Professionals in Donor Funded
Technical Assistance Projects,
which exceeds US$ 3,000 in
average.
Generally, the Billing Rates for
personnel of Private Consulting
Firms are being referred or
compared with those of
Government Employees, which is
not at all fair. If one
considers the other facilities
provided to the Government
Employees such as the cost for
transportation, fuel &
lubricant, driver, cost involved
for higher education and
training including participation
in workshop/seminar within and
outside country and other so
many social benefits, the salary
of the Government Employees
becomes many folds.
In case of the consulting firms,
overhead (about 85%) and fees
(about 15%) need to be added on
top of the take-home salary of
the staff.
