Sexual Harassment at Work

Sexual harassment in the workplace falls into one of two categories: hostile-environment sexual harassment and quid pro quo sexual harassment. Examples of hostile-environment include the following:

• Unwelcome verbal or physical sexual behavior
• Lewd jokes
• Vulgar comments
• Displays of explicit or sexually suggestive material
• Repeated requests for a sexual or dating relationship

Quid pro quo sexual harassment refers to a situation involving an employee who is forced into or confronted with sexual demands to keep a job or be promoted.
