The law of land recognizes the authority of a superior officer to admonish and pass strictures against a subordinate employee for the failure of latter to discharge his duties in accordance with the rules, but this authority cannot be exercised in a manner that would be detrimental to the overall interests of the institution or defame the subordinate employee. No violation of law can be gathered from your query. Your sister should address a complaint to the higher echelons of the bank against AGM for an appropriate action.
Dear Pawan
She may file a complaint against him before competent authority like G.M. or MD of the Bank or file a police complaint against him for harassment.
she may also file a complaint against him before labour commissioner of area.
Feel Free to call
1. That the AGM by insisting on presence of your sister on holidays and over burdening her with others job has victimized your sister unjustified and harassive
2.The said act of the AGM also amounts to sexual harassment for which your sister can lodge a complaint under sexual harassment in Work Place Act which is very stringent in affect and is likely to solve all her problems.
3.Alternatively she can also bring this atrocity to the notice of the GM or any other higher authority.
Hi
your sister should file a case of harassment against the AGM with her HR Department first.
AGM cannot ask employees to work outside of office hours. All the more no women employee can be asked to work on public holidays and out of office hours.
Every bank will have its own Officer EMPLOYEES’ (CONDUCT) REGULATIONS and grievance redressal mechanism's.
Ask you sister to go through the rules and submit her complaint according to the grievance procedure stated in case the HR Department is not supportive.
Also if she wants urgent reconciliation without going through Grievance procedure, ask her to speak to her Union / employee trade union. they will take care of AGM in proper proper manner.
she should file a complaint before superior officer and state all the facts regarding this issue. purpose behind this is to bring all the facts in writing and in legal way. she should also file an application for her transfer to any other branch.
Your sister has options
1. file a complaint against the AGM before higher authority of the bank.
2. Approach the bank employee trade union
3. File a complaint before labour commissioner
Compulsory working on holidays is not an admissible one .The illegal action of AGM has peanalised bylaw. She can get protection from the harassment and mental torture.
If your sister is being harassed and given sexual tortures, she can give a complaint against him with the committee formed by the organisation to protect women from such sexual harassment in the place of employment.
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is a legislative act in India that seeks to protect women from sexual harassment at their place of work.
The Act came into force from 9 December 2013.
WHEREAS sexual harassment results in violation of the fundamental rights of a woman to equality under articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution of India and her right to life and to live with dignity under article 21 of the Constitution and right to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business which includes a right to a safe environment free from sexual harassment;
The Act uses a definition of sexual harassment which was laid down by the Supreme Court of India in Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan (1997). Article 19 (1) g of the Indian Constitution affirms the right of all citizens to be employed in any profession of their choosing or to practice their own trade or business. Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan established that actions resulting in a violation of one's rights to ‘Gender Equality’ and ‘Life and Liberty’ are in fact a violation of the victim’s fundamental right under Article 19 (1) g. The case ruling establishes that sexual harassment violates a woman's rights in the workplace and is thus not just a matter of personal injury.
Your sister may be advised to report the matter in a form of complaint with the higher officials, quoting that if no proper action is taken against the AGM, she will be forced to lodge a complaint against him under the provisions of the above law.
