Commentary On Law Against Sexual Harassment Of Women At Workplace

Commentary on Law Against Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace is a compact, practitioner-focused guide to preventing and addressing sexual harassment at work. After reproducing the statutory provisions and Rules, the book offers clause-by-clause analysis, plain-language explanations of duties on employers, and a digest of leading judgments shaping POSH jurisprudence. Core practical chapters guide Internal Committees through complaint intake, preliminary assessment, conciliation, formal inquiry, witness examination and report-writing; each step features model forms, sample questionnaires, timelines and a ready-to-use inquiry-report template. Employer-facing sections include drafting workplace POSH policies, implementing mandatory awareness and training programmes, maintaining confidentiality and record-keeping, conducting risk assessments, and responding to third-party harassment. Special topics cover intersectional and vulnerable-employee protections, interim measures and support, criminal complaints vis-à-vis internal inquiries, data/privacy considerations, and disciplinary action. Appendices provide model policies, sample notices, checklists for IC chairs, and a quick-reference compliance calendar. Designed for HR professionals, counsels, Internal Committee members, regulators and workplace trainers, the book bridges law and practice — enabling timely, fair, legally defensible responses that prioritise survivor safety and statutory compliance.
