(Legal aspects, procedures and compliance skills)

Fund Raising Program for Nirathanka, NGO
ABOUT PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORKPLACE (POSH)
Even though the concept of sexual harassment is as old as the history of mankind, its implication at the work place has received attention in recent times. In fact until the   verdict in Vishaka Vs. State of Rajasthan (1997) case by the Supreme Court of India in 1997, there were no official guidelines to deal with the subject.  Thereafter the central government has enacted Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013, under which the employer is duty bound to protect the women at workplace. This Act aims to protect women against sexual harassment at workplace by preventive measures like training, prohibitive measures like legal restriction, punitive measures like disciplinary action by employer or criminal action by police and rehabilitative measures like transfer and monetary compensation. Hence there is a need for managers and executives to learn the legal aspects, case laws and detailed procedure to protect the women at workplace.  
APPLICABILITY 
The Act came into force with effect from 9th December 2013. This Act is applicable to all the workplaces including dwelling house. All the women at workplace irrespective of their age, salary, designation and nature of employment, are protected under this Act. Even non-employed women like consultants, service providers, customers and suppliers are protected by this Act. The perpetrators of harassment can be male or female employees or non employees like consultants, service providers, customers or suppliers.
