The Two Types of Sexual Harassment
The law recognizes two types of sexual harassment:
Quid pro quo harassment — when a manager demands sexual favors as a condition of an employment benefit, such as a promotion or if the employee wants to avoid adverse employment actions.
Hostile work environment harassment — when comments, jokes, unwanted touching or actions of a sexual nature create an unpleasant working environment. A hostile work environment can be created by a manager, supervisor co-worker or other employees.
