A. Dear Client,
Under the POSH Act, you are supposed to form an Internal Complaint committee, and the ICC is composed of four organs: the Presidency, the Chambers, the Office of the Prosecutor, and the Registry. Under ICC a basic enquiry has to be conducted and based on the inquiry decision has to be taken.
You have to make sure any details of the said inquiry don't go out and the whole proceedings stay confidential.
Thank You

A. Dear client,
When terminating an employee, employers in India must consider certain safeguards to avoid legal pitfalls. First, the employer should have a valid reason for termination that is documented in the employee's file. Second, the employer should give the employee advance notice of the termination and provide an opportunity for the employee to appeal the decision. Finally, the employer should ensure that all severance pay and benefits are paid out in accordance with Indian law.
