Dear Mr PC Agarwal,
Thank you very much for this very imp info.
I feel, the women employees would take as an advantage at work place to black mail ?
It is going to pose great challenge for HR !

Hi All,
The monitoring body, The local complaints committee is not yet constituted.
District Administration is clueless on these aspects, still I think it will take time this rule / act become a reality and to serve the real purpose.
Till then as all we the HR people can do the formation of committees and conducting training programs for both male and females employees..

Thanks for the sharing an important legislation. The details should be displayed in prominent places so that such attrocies do not occur , simultaneously the female colleagues should be made aware and encouraged to report in case any such thing occurs. Let us make our work places safer.
