View(s):A senior official at Hayleys PLC subsidiary, Dipped Products PLC’s Thailand branch is being probed by Hayleys over sexual harassment allegations against a female employee in Thailand.
The individual has complained in an e-mail to the local office on an inappropriate incident with the said senior official which resulted in her being victimised in office, she says in the letter sent to Dipped Products PLC (DPL) in Colombo, which has been forwarded to the Business Times by her.
Dr. Mahesha Ranasoma, CEO DPL when contacted confirmed receiving the complaint and said the allegations are being probed.
As her English is poor, the employee has got her friend to translate and help write the said letter.
She has complained to the police and to the Labour Department in Thailand as well.
She has said that her case is a reflection of how the company is treating its staff abroad. Dr. Ranasoma said that the due procedure is being followed as the company needs to be fair by all staff concerned.
