Quid Pro Quo vs. Hostile Work Environment Harassment
Quid pro quo occurs when employment benefits (promotions, job security) are conditioned on sexual favors. Hostile work environment covers severe or pervasive unwanted sexual comments, touching, or visual displays.
Employer Liability & Retaliation Protection
Employers are strictly liable for harassment committed by supervisors. Furthermore, retaliating against an employee for reporting sexual harassment is an independent legal violation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue for sexual harassment if the perpetrator was a co-worker rather than a boss?
Yes. Employers are liable for co-worker harassment if management knew or should have known about the behavior and failed to take immediate corrective action.
