DOES SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWS APPLY TO INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS?
08-Aug-2023 (In Corporate Law)
Yes, PoSH Act also covers independent contractors if the number of employees is more than ten.
The Sexual Harassment Act 2013, applies to workers in both the organized and unorganized sectors. The unorganized sector is defined as “an enterprise owned by individuals or self-employed persons engaged in the production or sale of goods or the provision of services of any kind and if the enterprise employs workers, and the number of such workers is more then ten, PoSH act will be applicable. The law, therefore, applies to workers as well as independent contractors, i.e., platform workers.
