Workplace Harassment
As an employer, the safety of the employees working under you is your responsibility. Be it at any level- a manager or a trainee, each employee deserves respect and should not feel the pressure of any kind of sexual harassment.
We help you to keep a check on the compliance of the guidelines for the prevention of sexual harassment in your organization. We provide various facilities related to this. But before discussing those, let us understand what sexual harassment is.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is any kind of unwelcome sexual advance or conduct that is done with an objective of intimidating any employee or colleague and creates an offensive working environment.
The harasser can be a coworker – senior or colleague. Even a non-employee such as a vendor/customer can also be responsible for it.
Similarly, the victim can either be male or female and can even be forced on the same sex. But the majority of the cases see women as the victim and men as the harasser.
Sexual harassment is generally done under the pretext of:
- The promise of giving employment
- The threat of employment status in future
- The promise of perquisites or promotions
- The threats of demotions or humiliating behaviour/insult (personal or public)
Sexual Harassment Actions
If an employee faces any of the following acts by any persons related to the organization, it can be considered as sexual harassment:
- A deliberate uncomfortable physical contact
- A demand of sexual favours
- Sexual comments or double meaning talks
- Sending or showing sexual photographs or porn
Any organization with 10 or more employees is required to have an Internal Complaint Committee for the safety of their employees at all the administrative units. The committee should comprise of minimum 4 members and half of them should be females.
Rules to be followed by an Internal Complaint Committee
Following procedure is followed by the Internal Complaint Committee in case of any sexual harassment complaint by an employee:
- A complaint can be filed by the victim within 3 months of the incident.
- A representative can also file a complaint on behalf of the victim in case of his/her physical incapability.
- Non-monetary reconciliation between the concerned parties is attempted before the inquiry begins.
- If unsuccessful, inquiry is done in 90 days by hearing out both the parties.
- Within 10 days, the inquiry report is submitted.
- The organization needs to take necessary actions based on the recommendations of the committee within 60 days.
- If the victim is not satisfied, he/she is free to appeal in the court.
- The company is required to give details about the number of sexual harassment cases arose and settled within the year in its annual report
