Understanding the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act
Carefully read the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013, and the Central Government Rules framed thereunder, gazetted on December 9, 2013. Thereafter, properly and faithfully implement the provisions in the letter and spirit of the said Act, especially its preamble. In addition, refer to:
i) The amendment gazetted on May 9, 2016;
ii) Notification dated November 7, 2017, regarding the SHe Box - Online Portal for Registering SH Complaints;
iii) Amendment to Companies (Accounts) Rule 2014, gazetted on July 31, 2018, regarding the constitution of an Internal Committee in every organization/establishment where ten or more workers are employed (on muster-roll).
Constituting Internal Committees
Every employer, by an order in writing, must constitute Internal Committees under Section 4 of the said Act of 2013, which are self-explanatory. Every employer in India has to obey Section 19 duties of the employer and report action taken under Section 22, whereas the IC Presiding Officer (always a senior woman employee) has to file an annual report before the District Officer under Section 21 in the format provided in Rule 14 of the rules framed thereunder.
Implementation guidance is helpful and available with the Kritarth Team of Special Educators.
