Does a government employee absolve himself from liability for negligence in his work by depositing an equivalent amount into a "discharging liability" account, and how does this affect his retirement pension?

If the intended meaning of the "discharging account" is a governmental account, then if the negligent employee pays into this account what corresponds to his negligence in his work, his liability is discharged, and his salary and retirement pension become lawful for him.
