  2. Sexual harassment is about power. Men and women, heterosexuals and homosexuals all can be victims. Sexual harassment has been classified by the courts into two categories: quid pro quo and hostile work environment.

  3. QUID PRO QUO This form of harassment occurs when a boss, manager or other supervisor requests, offers or demands sexual favors in exchange for job benefits, such as a favorable employee review, raise or promotion. The employee is threatened with not receiving the benefit or being demoted or fired for refusal.

  4. HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT This type of harassment includes instances where an employee is subjected to offensive sexual conduct in general by co-workers, supervisors and even non-employees that is said to “poison” the work environment. Examples of this type of behavior include: ● Sexual innuendo ● Jokes ● Comments ● Profane language ● Inappropriate touching ● Gestures ● Posting sexually explicit materials

  5. EMPLOYER LIABILITY Generally, employers are liable for the acts of their employees. In quid pro quo cases, the courts have found that the employer is strictly liable for the acts of the supervisor.
