    By Nyaaya | Sexual Harassment at the Workplace, Work and Employment | 0 comment | 17 September, 2019 | 0

    This post is also available in: हिन्दी (Hindi)

    The amount of money that victims will receive as compensation is based on the following things1:

    • Mental trauma and distress caused to the victim
    • Lost job opportunities because of the sexual harassment
    • Medical treatment (physical or psychiatric) that the victim needs
    • The victim’s income and general financial status.

    The Committee can decide whether this money should be paid over time in instalments or all at once.
