Many employers in Pakistan don't realise that under the Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010, having a written harassment policy and a formal inquiry committee is not optional — it's a legal obligation.
Without it:
⚠️ An employee can file a complaint directly with the Ombudsperson
⚠️ The employer can face fines, penalties & public proceedings
⚠️ The business reputation takes damage that no PR can fix
What the law actually requires from every registered organization:
📌 A displayed Code of Conduct at the workplace
📌 A formal Inquiry Committee with at least one female member
📌 A defined complaints & appeals process
📌 Strict timelines for resolving complaints
Most businesses only learn this after a complaint is filed.
Awareness is the first step toward a safer, legally sound workplace.
