Description
Set up and run POSH compliance the way the law requires
Every employer with ten or more employees must have an Internal Committee, a policy, regular awareness programmes and an annual report to the District Officer. The Supreme Court has repeatedly pressed States to check compliance, district-wise surveys are under way, and companies must now disclose complaint numbers in the Board’s report. This kit gives you a clear guide and eleven formats drafted afresh from the Act and Rules.
What is inside
- Guide: who is protected, what counts as sexual harassment, Internal Committee composition, tenure, fees and removal, the Local Committee, complaints and the three month limit with extension, conciliation, inquiry steps with a timeline table (7 working days, 10 working days, 90 days, 10 days, 60 days, 90 day appeal), interim relief, action and compensation, false complaints, confidentiality, employer duties, annual report, penalties and the related offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
- The Supreme Court directions in Aureliano Fernandes v. State of Goa and the later orders on District Officers, Local Committees and district surveys; the SHe-Box portal; the Board’s report disclosures for companies.
