Dear User,
Your query is about the submission of the annual POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) return in Delhi, India. As per the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, it's the responsibility of the Internal Committee to prepare the annual report and submit it to the employer.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. 👩‍💼 The Internal Committee conducts an inquiry into any complaints received during the year.
2. 📝 After the inquiry, the Committee prepares an annual report detailing the complaints received and the action taken.
3. 📂 The report is then submitted to the employer and the District Officer.
So, in your case, the chairperson of the Internal Committee, not the factory manager, should submit the annual return.
Please note:
- The annual report should be prepared at the end of each calendar year.
- The report should be submitted to the employer and the District Officer within 10 days of the end of the year.
- The employer should include this report in the annual report of the organization.
I hope this provides a clear answer to your query. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
💡Remember, POSH compliance is not just a legal mandate, but it also contributes to creating a safe and respectful workplace for everyone.
