COMPLIANCE POLICY

Ridelo-Ehailing (Private) Limited
Effective Date: 27 December 2024


I. OVERVIEW & SCOPE

Ridelo-Ehailing (Private) Limited, a registered transport operator in Pakistan, is committed to maintaining a safe, lawful, inclusive, and discrimination-free environment for all employees, partners, drivers, agents, vendors, and passengers.

This Compliance Policy supports:

  • The Companies Act 2017,

  • The Employment and Services Acts,

  • Pakistan Transport Department Regulations,

  • The Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010, and

  • Other applicable labor, human rights, and data protection laws.

It applies to all persons engaged in providing or supporting Ridelo’s operations — including vehicle operations, customer service, administrative functions, digital platform management, and financial transactions conducted through the Ridelo App.


II. POLICY PRINCIPLES

1. Non-Discrimination

Ridelo enforces an equal-opportunity and zero-discrimination policy across all employment and service levels.
Discrimination is prohibited on the basis of:

  • Gender or gender identity

  • Religion, sect, or belief

  • Caste, ethnicity, or tribe

  • National origin or geographic region

  • Age or disability

  • Marital or parental status

  • Political opinion or language

  • Economic or social background

This principle applies to recruitment, promotion, compensation, termination, and all service interactions.
Drivers and staff must never refuse service or alter behavior based on a passenger’s identity, area, or appearance.


2. Service-Level Transport Compliance

In accordance with provincial and national transport regulations:

  • No driver may refuse a booking based on destination, gender, religion, disability, or neighborhood.

  • Service animals must be accommodated without discrimination.

  • All passengers must be treated with equal courtesy and professionalism.

  • Geographic bias — refusing service to certain districts or low-income areas — is strictly forbidden.

Violations may result in penalties, suspension, or license withdrawal as directed by authorities.


3. Harassment & Sexual Harassment

Ridelo maintains a zero-tolerance stance against all forms of harassment, including:

  • Verbal abuse, threats, or inappropriate jokes

  • Sexual remarks, gestures, or advances

  • Unwanted physical contact or intimidation

  • Offensive digital communication (via chat, phone, or app)

Such conduct is a breach of both company policy and Pakistan’s Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010.
Incidents will trigger internal investigation and, where appropriate, legal escalation.


4. Affirmative Action & Inclusion

Ridelo actively promotes diversity and inclusion by:

  • Recruiting women, persons with disabilities, and minority community members for driving and support roles;

  • Offering training and mentorship programs to encourage equal participation;

  • Ensuring workplace accessibility and equal pay for equal work.


5. Data Protection & Financial Compliance

All personal and financial data collected through the Ridelo App are handled per the Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and Digital Wallet & Transaction Features Policy.
Ridelo complies with:

  • The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA),

  • The forthcoming Personal Data Protection Bill of Pakistan, and

  • Google Play’s User Data & Financial Features Requirements.

Data misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or manipulation of wallet funds will result in disciplinary and legal action.


6. Reporting Violations

Anyone — employee, driver, contractor, or passenger — who witnesses or experiences misconduct may report it confidentially to:

📩 Email: compliance@ridelo.asia
📞 Phone: +92-3111 444 281
🏢 Address: P-10, Chenab Market, Susan Road, Block Z, Madina Town, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan

Reports will be acknowledged promptly and investigated impartially by Ridelo’s Compliance Department.
All complainants are protected from retaliation.


7. Anti-Retaliation

Retaliation against any person who reports or participates in a good-faith investigation is strictly prohibited.
Disciplinary action will apply to anyone found engaging in retaliation, including termination of employment or contract.


8. Disciplinary Actions

Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, actions may include:

  • Written or verbal warning

  • Temporary suspension or account deactivation

  • Mandatory re-training or counseling

  • Permanent termination of employment or partnership

  • Referral to law enforcement or regulatory agencies


9. Remedies & Corrective Measures

Where a complaint is upheld, remedies may include:

  • Reinstatement or re-assignment of duties

  • Adjustment of compensation or benefits

  • Formal apology or mediation

  • Mandatory compliance training

  • Legal redress or reporting to relevant authorities


10. Implementation, Oversight & Review

The Compliance Department is responsible for enforcing this policy across all Ridelo operations, ensuring integration with:

  • HR policies,

  • Transport safety protocols, and

  • Digital platform governance (wallet, privacy, data).

The policy will be reviewed annually, or sooner if regulatory or operational changes require.
Revisions will be published on the Ridelo website and mobile app.
