What is Legal Advice on Workplace Harassment?

Legal advice on workplace harassment involves guidance on legal rights, complaint procedures, and protection against retaliation. The POSH Act mandates the formation of an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in companies to handle sexual harassment complaints, but not all workplace harassment cases fall under its purview. Legal consultation helps individuals explore alternative legal remedies under labour laws, criminal laws, and human rights regulations. At Nevo Legal, we provide expert legal consultation to ensure a safe and fair workplace.
