What Is Quid Pro Quo Harassment?
Quid pro quo is a type of sexual harassment where employment benefits, such as pay, promotion, position or any other type of advancement, are contingent upon unwelcome sexual advances. This kind of sexual harassment commonly comes from someone in a position of power who demands sexual favors from their subordinates.
Examples of quid pro quo harassment include:
- A supervisor offering a promotion in exchange for sexual favors.
- Threatening to demote or fire an employee if they do not comply with sexual advances.
- Granting favorable work assignments only to those who submit to sexual requests.
No matter what form of quid pro quo you experienced, the offer is an illegal act and must be treated with swift justice to make it clear that those actions are unacceptable in the workplace.
