The Federal Ombudsperson reviewed the record and upheld the inquiry’s findings, ruling that the proceedings were conducted fairly and in accordance with due process has rejected an appeal by a departmental employee and upgraded the penalty from compulsory retirement to dismissal from service with immediate effect, reinforcing a zero-tolerance stance on workplace harassment.
The case stemmed from complaints by 16 female employees of a public-sector department, who alleged repeated harassment, including unwanted physical contact and behaviour that created an intimidating work environment. A departmental inquiry had earlier found the allegations proven and recommended compulsory retirement, which was subsequently implemented. On appeal, FOSPAH reviewed the record and upheld the inquiry’s findings, ruling that the proceedings were conducted fairly and in accordance with due process.
It found no procedural irregularities and confirmed that the appellant had been given full opportunity to present a defence. The accused admitted to physical interaction with a colleague but claimed it was unintentional. FOSPAH dismissed this argument, stating that harassment is judged by its impact on the victim rather than the intent of the accused. It noted that consistent testimonies from multiple complainants established a clear pattern of misconduct.
The forum further observed that the appellant failed to counter earlier incidents on record and attempted to justify his actions as human error, a defence it termed unacceptable. It concluded that the conduct created a hostile environment and undermined the dignity and safety of female employees. FOSPAH also emphasised that workplace harassment must be viewed within broader societal dynamics, noting that gender-based power imbalances can contribute to coercive behaviour even when the accused holds a junior position.
