&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &amp;quot;considering issuing instructions&amp;quot; that the leave &amp;quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &amp;quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&amp;quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&amp;quot; the draft said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &amp;quot;considering issuing instructions&amp;quot; that the leave &amp;quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &amp;quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&amp;quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&amp;quot; the draft said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.

New Delhi: Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday...&#039;
$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Telegraph&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &amp;quot;considering issuing instructions&amp;quot; that the leave &amp;quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &amp;quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&amp;quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&amp;quot; the draft said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &amp;quot;considering issuing instructions&amp;quot; that the leave &amp;quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &amp;quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&amp;quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&amp;quot; the draft said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &amp;quot;considering issuing instructions&amp;quot; that the leave &amp;quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &amp;quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&amp;quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&amp;quot; the draft said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.

<em>New Delhi: </em>Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.<br />

<em>New Delhi: </em>Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests.<br />
<br />
Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to.<br />
<br />
The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is &quot;considering issuing instructions&quot; that the leave &quot;may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account&quot;.<br />
<br />
Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks.<br />
<br />
The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister's Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972.<br />
<br />
Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. &quot;No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already,&quot; said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified.<br />
<br />
The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints.<br />
<br />
The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her.<br />
<br />
&quot;It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made,&quot; the draft said.<br />
<br />
According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.

Extra leave for harass victims

-The Telegraph New Delhi: Leave of up to 90 days granted to women central government employees who have filed complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace could be in addition to leave they are otherwise entitled to, a circular issued yesterday suggests. Under Section 12, 1(D), of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, a woman employee has the option of taking leave up to 90 days while the inquiry into her complaint is on. However, the law does not clarify if this is additional leave or is to be adjusted against existing leave the woman is entitled to. The circular, issued by the department of personnel and training, states that it is "considering issuing instructions" that the leave "may be granted to an aggrieved female government servant on the recommendation of the internal committee or the local committee, as the case may be, during the pendency of inquiry under Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The leave so granted to the aggrieved woman under this rule shall not be debited against the leave account". Sources said the clarification was driven by women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, who had earlier pushed successfully to increase maternity leave to 26 weeks. The department, under the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pension which reports to the Prime Minister's Office, has invited comments before it includes the instructions in the Central Civil Services Act, 1972. Some employers are concerned that this will encourage misuse of the sexual harassment law. "No internal inquiry committee can deny leave to women who face such harassment. This will not only lead to misuse, but invite frivolous complaints. Also, what about the work that will suffer? There is a provision of transfer in the law and that of optional leave already," said a senior executive in a MNC in Delhi, who did not want to be identified. The circular comes three days after the personnel department issued an order clarifying that a new draft of the harassment law will allow an official junior to the accused to head the internal committee dealing with sexual harassment complaints. The clarification came after questions were raised about the seniority of the official who could head the panel probing allegations of sexual harassment against an officer senior to her. "It is clarified that the committee constituted in terms of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is legally competent to hold an inquiry into a case irrespective of the fact that the chairperson of such committee is lower in rank to the employee against whom the allegations have been made," the draft said. According to the act, an internal complaints committee is to be set up at every workplace to deal with sexual harassment cases. It will headed by a woman and at least half of its members should be women.
