POSH Law & Sexual Harassment Law Compliance Services
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, commonly referred to as the POSH Act, mandates that every employer must provide a safe working environment that includes protection from harassment by persons coming into contact at the workplace (Section 19(a)).
Under this Act, all organizations with 10 or more employees (permanent, temporary, ad-hoc, consultants, interns, or contract workers, regardless of gender) are required to comply with specific regulations to prevent and address sexual harassment. The law empowers aggrieved employees to file complaints within the organization and seek redressal through an internal mechanism.
