Types of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment generally falls into two categories: quid pro quo and hostile environment.
Quid pro quo
Quid pro quo (Latin meaning "this for that") sexual harassment involves cases where a supervisor or other manager is requesting sexual favors in exchange for providing job benefits, or a supervisor or other manager is threatening denial of job benefits to gain sexual favors.
Some elements of quid pro quo sexual harassment include:
- The employee was subjected to unwelcome conduct.
- The harassment complained of was based upon sex.
- Submission to the unwelcome conduct was a condition to receiving or not taking away job benefits.
- Harassment by employer or agent of employer.
