What sort of offices are responsible for preventing sexual harassment?
If you are responsible for the management, supervision, and control of the workplace then you will be understood as an employer under the law. This means you must work to prevent sexual harassment. Offices and employers can include1:
- Government offices, where an employer is usually the head of department. Sometimes, the government may decide that another person will be considered as the ’employer.’
- Private offices, where an employer is any person who manages and is in charge of the office. This includes the board or committee making policies and putting them in place.
- Any office, where a person is an employer according to their contract.
- In a home, where the person or the house which hires a domestic worker. The type of the work and the number of workers do not matter.
- Section 2(g), The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.[↩]
