Filing Internal Committee's Annual Report
Just after 60 days, every Internal Committee should be ready to file the Internal Committee’s Annual Report for the calendar year 2020 under Section-21 of the SHWW (P, P & R) Act 2013. They must furnish accurate and verifiable data such as:
1. Number of cases of sexual harassment received in the year.
2. Number of cases of sexual harassment disposed of in the year.
3. Number of cases pending for more than 90 days.
4. Number of employee awareness programs and workshops for IC members.
5. Nature of disciplinary action taken by the employer in SH cases.
Online Filing and Responsibilities
Since the launch of She-Box, online filing of SH complaints is not unknown. Hence, all Internal Committees, employers, management teams, and HR heads should ensure that action has been taken in all SH complaints or reports, whether verbal or written.
Each IC must ensure to send a copy of the IC Annual Report to the employer or head of the establishment so that they can incorporate IC data and details in the company's Annual Report under Section-22, to be filed before the ROC or appointed authority. Failure to file annual reports attracts prosecution and penalties under Section-26 of the Act 2013.
Organizing Mandatory Programs
There is little time left for employers to organize mandatory programs for employees and IC members to fulfill their duties listed under Section-19 of the SHWW (P, P & R) Act 2013.
