al harassment online during the course of your employ­ment, you may file a complaint with the Internal Com­plaints Committee constituted by your employer. Your employer is legally mandated to receive and inquire into your complaint.

Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016(“the RPWD Act”) 33 The RPWD Act, 2016 enumerates and protects the rights of persons with disabilities in India. The law mandates employers to make reasonable accommodations for em­ployees with disabilities. These accommodations extend to digital workplaces. Your employer is also required to notify an equal opportunity policy detailing measures proposed to be taken by them in pursuance of compli­ance with the RPWD Act, 2016(Section 21 of the RPWD Act, 2016 And Rule 8 of the RPWD rules, 2017) 34 . Rule 15 also provides for compliances to make Information and Communication Technology accessible to persons with disabilities. Labour Codes India has four consolidated legislations governing labour. They are listed below: Code on Wages, 2019(“the Wage Code”) 35 The Wage Code unifies Indian law on universal minimum wages, mandates equal pay for equal work, ensuring timely payments and requires overtime pay at double the normal rate. The mandate to ensure equal pay for equal work ex­tends to employers using AI, creating a requirement for em­ployers to ensure that the automated decision-making sys­tems that they use are free of bias and that people belonging to all genders receive equal pay for equal work.(Section 3). Further, Article 14 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the Right to Equality against the State. The right to equali­ty also includes the right to equal pay for equal work 36 . The Supreme Court of India has held that the party who claims equal pay for equal work has to make necessary averments and prove that all things are equal and still there was a dif­ference in pay 37 , as the burden of establishing right and parity in employment is on the person claiming such right 38 . Hence, while raising a claim of unequal pay, work­ers must produce proof to the effect that the work done by the claimant was the same as others, that there are similar responsibilities, qualifications and recruitment method, but that wages or salary are differing. → Section 3 Prohibition of discrimination on ground of gender:(1) There shall be no discrimination in an establishment or any unit thereof among employees on the ground of gender in matters relating to wages by the same employer, in respect of the same work or work of a similar nature done by any employee Industrial Relations Code, 2020 39 (“the IR Code”) The IR Code consolidates laws relating to Trade Unions, conditions of employment in industrial establishments or undertakings, and investigation and settlement of indus­trial disputes.
