Complaints mean complaints made following which Act? If the establishment did not have a Committee mandated by law to prevent harassment against women in the workplace, you can take action against the company for that. If your issue is not harassment but termination, then the court is there to intervene and ensure your dues are paid or reinstate you. However, if you have been working in a supervisory role, you cannot receive protection under the Industrial Disputes Act - thus, it is meaningless to go to court and battle against the company, especially if you were under probation. Termination as retaliation cannot be proven in court. Before the court, the only questions will be:
1. Was the employee under probation?
2. Whether there is a clause that permits the employer to terminate the employee on probation without notice and reasons?
3. Whether the order terminating the employee contains any reason for termination? If yes, is it stigmatic?
In this circumstance, strictly adhering to the law may not be practical, but you can explore other options by approaching the District Collector or such other agency responsible for ensuring the implementation of the POSH Act, etc.

In the USA, there is the EEOC, which takes care of retaliation absurdity by employers. What about in Bangalore? It's been 2 months without pay. I got my October pay with the help of cops. I met the DCP and filed a complaint on Saturday. He will forward that to the local PS. The complaint with the Women's Commission is still pending enquiry as the chairperson is on an official tour. The Labor Commission was of no help and was just a waste of time and sorrow.
KSLSA had taken a letter last Tuesday, 15.12.20, to get my case file from the labor commissioner. The DCP complaint was filed on 19.12.20. I sent an email to the USA EEOC, but I will probably not be covered as I am not a USA citizen, even though the company is based in the US. Who can provide immediate relief and peace in this case?

Dear Anu, Only POSH act 2013 can help you in your case, I am enclosing POSH act for your reference.

The case is fit to be heard under the POSH Act. Please file a complaint immediately with the District Authority (Collector's office) regarding the non-availability of the Internal Complaint Committee under the POSH Act and also for not filing the Annual Return under the POSH Act. If the District Authority becomes active, the company will learn a lesson in respecting female employees. The reinstatement issue is not primary; sexual harassment is primary. Concentrate on the POSH Act, which will be more beneficial in this case.
