Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Lawyer | Quid Pro Quo & Hostile Work Environment

Legal Review: State Bar of California Defense Counsel Directorate • Southern California Trial Bar

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.
