Sexual Harrasment - Sexual Harassment

Dear All,
In case a employee is found guilty. What is the action the company can take ? What is the action that needs to be taken as per law ? Can the management give a warning to the employee without going for any actions like suspension or termination.

Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
The company needs to have a sexual harassment committee in place. The case needs to be solved within 5 days. Also, the committee should investigate and hand over the recommendations to an appointed committee head, which is preferably not from the company to bring in more neutrality. Most companies have sexual harassment policies in place. It is not necessary to terminate the employee, this would depend on the severity of the act. Depend on that the commitee investiagtes and decides.

Hi All,
What does the Indian Labour Law say about the harrasser? Depending on the severity of the act, and if the person is found guilty, can s/he be dismissed from service?
Moreover where can I find a lndian labour laws on the web?
