Dear All, Let me share one of the problems that my friend is facing these days. The problem: This is a case of two colleagues in an organization. They joined the organization some 5 years back. One of them was the boss and the other was the receptionist. They fell in love and got married 2 years back. Everything was going smoothly till there was a complain of sexual harassment filed by receptionist against her boss ( who is infact her husband in personal relationship) . This receptionist came with the complain that this person has abused her verbally which was sexual in nature. It was a surprising situation for my HR friend. later he came to know that things were not going well in their personal relationship and he also realised that the girl had asked for a divorce from her husband. Later he also found that the complain of this girl was true. He talked with her husband and came to conclusion that this person was not interested in divorce but her wife was creating situations to force him to go for a divorce. I do not know much about the divorce and the sexual harassment laws. but what i believe is that since this girl is interested in divorce later she might file a case against her husband for divorce and use this sexual harassment case in reference(Proof). My friend is quite confused and i am very new to HR field. so i thought to raise this issue to among all you HR professionals. what would you have done in such a situation?

Another HOT STEAMY post has come up:-D:-D WEll your friend, is immature to take decision and cant handle this situation , why doesnt he consult his superiors. BEcause when u cant do it, ask ur BOSS for advice, and let ur boss handle the situation and u learn from it.. And as per PMS reply,,, go technical and dont go emotional ,,, if the harassment occured at home, can it be termed as sexual harassment case, even I dont know :icon1::icon1: so better read the rules and find whether in this case the verbal abuse happened in office or home... and go by rules, bcoz the case is boss harassing receptionist.... so first analyse the case.. because it aslo might be that the BOSS is innocent and RECEIPTIONIST wants DIVORCE so is framing the BOSS by faking the SEXUAL HARASSMENT. well this post will get many hot discussions from members im sure.. well lets see what we have in store.. CHEERS WEEKEND DHAMAKA this post is

Any incident that happens in office, needs to in writing and not oral complain. So, get it writing from the lady on the Manager X. If she gives in writing then call talk to the her Manager and clarify on the complain. Once as an HR you are convinced, form a committee which is headed by a Senior Lady employee of the company who can conduct the enquiry and ask them to submit a report to the Management. Based on the committee report's HR can let the company decide to proceed further. If the lady employee is not willing to give it in writing then you can ask her to give that no alligation exist on him & close the enquiry. Incident that happens at work and at home, need to be treated sepertely and cannot be brought to work. Regards

As per the sexual harassment act any indecent behavior reported by a female in offiicial premises is taken seriously, eventhough they are husband and wife. But if the harassment happened at home, then it needs to be reported to NCW instead in office.Ask ur friend to sort out things at home or else things could complicate if his wife has proofs against him. He definetely has to undergo serious threat, although he is not wrong.
