    When to Use

    When an employee needs to formally report workplace harassment (sexual, physical, or psychological) to their employer's HR department or to the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare.

    Key Clauses

    Complainant Identification

    essential

    Full name, employee ID, position, department, and employment start date of the person filing the complaint.

    Respondent Identification

    essential

    Full name, position, and department of the alleged harasser. Relationship to complainant (supervisor, colleague, etc.).

    Description of Incidents

    essential

    Detailed chronological account of each incident: date, time, location, what was said/done, and any witnesses present.

    Supporting Evidence

    essential

    List of attached evidence: screenshots, emails, messages, CCTV references, medical reports, witness statements.

    Previous Reports

    recommended

    Record of any prior verbal or written complaints to supervisors or HR, and the response (or lack thereof).

    Impact Statement

    recommended

    How the harassment has affected work performance, mental health, and professional relationships.

    Requested Action

    essential

    Specific remedies requested: investigation, separation from harasser, disciplinary action, compensation, policy changes.

    Confidentiality Request

    recommended

    Request that the complaint be handled confidentially and protection against retaliation.

    Warnings

    Keep copies of all complaints and correspondence — do not rely solely on the employer's records.

    Under Section 16 of the Labour Protection Act, employers are legally obligated to investigate harassment complaints.

    If the employer fails to act within a reasonable time (typically 30 days), you can escalate to the Labour Inspector.

    Filing a harassment complaint is protected activity — termination in retaliation may constitute unfair dismissal with enhanced compensation.

    Professional Legal Assistance

    When a matter involves investigation, arrest, detention, litigation, or regulatory action, professional legal representation becomes essential.
