Topic 1: Beyond the Verdict - Appeal Process under POSH

What happens if the complainant or respondent is not satisfied with the Internal Committee’s decision?

We will dive into Section 18 of the POSH Act to understand how the appeal process actually works. We will walk through where an appeal can be filed, what happens when the service rules are not clear and how this unfolds in practical situations. In this session, Santosh K.T, a subject matter expert in Compliance, will explain everything you need to know about the appeal process under POSH.

Key discussion points:

What is the difference between internal and external appeal systems?
Where should an employee approach to file an appeal?
Can an organization create its own internal appeal system?
Is there a stipulated time limit for filing an appeal?
Does the external appeal authority vary based on the type of establishment?
How should the IC prepare if an employee decides to appeal?

Topic 2: Untangling SHe-Box - From Registration to Annual Report Filing

According to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the SHe-Box Portal provides a single-window access for women employees whether in public, private, organized, or unorganized sectors to file complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace and track their status.

Recently, many organizations have received notifications from their District Officer to register their company and Internal Committee on the SHe-Box portal. While several have complied, many Presiding Officers have reported not receiving their login credentials raising concerns especially as annual report filing deadlines approach.
