Is call recordings are mandatory to proof the personal level comments
9 months ago
I am working for Teleperformance, during the month of February I request leave on 14 February due to a government exam. But my Team Leader asked who is your boyfriend? With whom you are going? What are your plans? What you will do with him?
I raised a POSH complaint where I provided call logs. The internal ICC Team asked me to prove this point when he said such things. I informed I do not have recordings for this. As per ICC Team this point is null and void.
Previously for the same incident, the Team Leader agreed in front of the senior manager that yes I said such things. And the senior manager advised me to improve my harmony with him. But things did not get sorted and I reached out to ICC Team.
As per ICC Team, this kind of statement and behavior is not POSH. The team is asking me to prove this incident what ever I have I shared like call logs but they stuck to provide the recording without this they won't consider my complaint.
In the prevailing situation, when the ICC of the Company has not considered your complaint, you may register your complaint online Sexual Harassment Electronic Box (SHe-Box) launched by The Ministry of Women & Child Development to provide single window access to every woman, irrespective of her work status, whether working in the organized or unorganized, private or public sector, to facilitate the registration of complaint related to sexual harassment. Any woman facing sexual harassment at the workplace can register their complaint through this portal. Once a complaint is submitted to the ‘SHe-Box’, it will be directly sent to the concerned authority having jurisdiction to take action into the matter. Further, as per the recommendation of the Justice JS Verma committee on sexual harassment of women at the workplace, an employer should be held liable if The panel opposed penalizing women for false complaints as it can potentially nullify the objective of the law. The panel also said that the time limit of three months to file a complaint should be done away with and a complainant should not be transferred without the complainant's consent. Take a chance to get your complaint resolved to meet the end of justice.
If you are aggrieved by the order, you may prefer an appeal under Section 18 of the Act to the appellate authority notified under clause (a) of Section 2 of theIndustrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, within a period of 90 days of the date of recommendations by the Internal Committee.
