  • Create and distribute an organisational policy against workplace sexual harassment of women.

  • If your company has 10 or more employees, form an internal committee.

  • Display the repercussions of sexual harassment as well as the details of the Internal Committee in a prominent location in the workplace.

  • Provide the facilities needed and relevant data to the Internal Committee or Local Committee for the investigation of sexual harassment accusations.

  • Ensure that the complainant and respondent are both present during the investigation.

  • Assist the complainant if she decides to make a police report.

  • Forward a sexual harassment complaint filed by an employee to the police, either because the complainant chooses to or because the respondent is a third party.

  • Treat sexual harassment as a violation of the service rules and take appropriate action.

  • Make certain that the IC sends the Annual Report to management and the District Officer. This only applies to businesses with 10 or more employees.
