● The second similar complaint was received on 5th December 2018. The Internal Committee reviewed the case and the employee accepted and acknowledged the findings on 10th December 2018.
Please be advised that the Company received no written complaints from Ms. K.M in the years 2016 and 2017, as alleged in the letter...
