Mental harassment by senior doctor


06-Apr-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)

I am a staff nurse in kothamba village (Gujarat). During my job hour my senior doctor is mentally harassed me.he forced to me to do job during 2 pm to 8pm, but after 6pm there is no transportation service available at my job place and the last bus from my job place to my home is at 6 pm. I have told to Dr to change the time of my job, but he has disagreed and also not gave me proper response. The Dr told me to take a room for rent, but my job place is a village so finding room for rent is difficult. And Dr also not presents on his duty hour.

Indian law prohibits working of female employees beyond permissible hours after 7:00 PM/8:30 PM/9:30 PM/10:00 PM in factories & commercial establishments. Indian law also lays down maximum permissible hours of work as well overtime hours in a day/week. It is to be understood that working beyond permissible hours can only be on rare occasions and not a norm. Any deviation from this requires prior permission of Govt. Authorities. Such permissions are conditional and impose restrictions and duties on the employer aimed at ensuring security of female employees. Arranging for secured transportation to female employees working beyond permissible hours is mandatory. Non-adherence of such conditions attracts penalties. In case a female employee becomes a victim of crime against her body because of such negligence on the part of the employer, management of the employer is exposed to criminal penalties.
