Karin Law N° 21.643 - 2024

Karin's Law establishes a legal framework in Chile to prevent, investigate, and punish workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and violence at work. This regulation, which honors Karin Salgado, a nursing technician who worked at Herminda Martín Hospital in Chillán and tragically took her own life in 2019 after suffering workplace harassment, strengthens worker protection through the implementation of mandatory protocols, fair reporting procedures, and effective sanctions for those who violate the regulations. At Geocom, we believe that a safe and respectful work environment is fundamental for the well-being of our employees and the success of our company. Therefore, it is essential that both the organization and every member of our team comply with Karin's Law, adopting measures that promote respect, fairness, and integrity in our work environment. With its entry into force on August 1, 2024, this law challenges us to strengthen our commitments to the prevention and proper management of workplace harassment and violence situations, ensuring that everyone at Geocom can perform in a safe and protected environment. If you need to report a situation of harassment or workplace violence, you can do so confidentially by clicking the "Report here" button. Your safety and well-being are our priority.

Penalties can include financial fines up to the dismissal of the worker or employer responsible for the harassment or violence.

Ridicule a worker's work, ideas, or results before their colleagues, through caricatures, parodies, or mockery. Also, any form of aggression or harassment that causes detriment, ill-treatment, or humiliation, impacts their dignity, work environment, or job stability.

To report workplace harassment, it is recommended to collect strong evidence to support the claims. The following evidence can be presented:

  • Documents or emails showing harassment
  • Records of specific incidents or situations where the harassment occurred
  • Testimonies from co-workers, suppliers, clients, security guards
  • Audio or video recordings, provided they are legal.
  • Photographs
  • Medical or psychological evaluations supporting the negative impact of harassment on health and well-being.

    • Adopt measures to prevent, investigate, and punish sexual harassment, workplace harassment, and violence at work. Develop and make available to workers a protocol for these purposes. Identify the psychosocial risks of harassment and workplace violence, highlighting a gender perspective.
