Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
There are two types of sexual harassment:
- Quid pro quo — This is blatant harassment whereby a supervisor provides the employee with an ultimatum that requires the employee do something of a sexual nature.
- Hostile work environment harassment — Harassment based on a hostile work environment is more subtle. It includes behavior, comments or innuendos that make the workplace uncomfortable.
Hostile work environment claims do not just apply to sexual harassment. A hostile work environment can be created based on race, age, disability or other protected classifications.
