### FAQs

#### What does POSH advisory and compliance cover for employers in India?

It covers drafting workplace anti-harassment policies, constituting and training the Internal Committee, conducting compliance audits, advising on annual filing obligations, and building documentation protocols that align with the POSH Act, 2013.

#### When should an organization start investing in POSH compliance?

Any employer with ten or more workers must comply with the POSH Act. Compliance should begin at formation or as soon as the threshold is crossed. Delays expose the organization to penalties, reputational harm, and potential liability for unaddressed complaints.

#### Which statute governs workplace sexual harassment prevention in India?

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, along with its Rules, is the primary legislation. It mandates an Internal Committee, a defined complaints process, and annual reporting to the District Officer.

#### What does a typical POSH compliance engagement involve and how long does it take?

A standard engagement includes a gap audit, policy drafting or revision, IC constitution, and committee training. For a single-location employer, this typically takes four to six weeks. Multi-site or multinational setups require longer timelines due to location-specific assessments.

#### What documents and information are needed to begin a POSH compliance review?

We typically require existing HR policies, employee handbooks, prior IC orders if any, details of office locations and workforce size, current IC composition, and records of past annual returns filed with the District Officer. This helps identify gaps quickly.

#### What common POSH compliance mistakes do Indian employers often make?

Frequent pitfalls include failing to reconstitute the IC when members leave, not training committee members annually, overlooking remote and third-party work arrangements, and missing the deadline for filing the annual report. Each of these can attract penalties under the POSH Act.
