Workplace sexual harassment is illegal between employees, between a supervisor and an employee, and often between an employee and an outside contractor or vendor. The EEOC recognizes two types of sexual harassment. The first is known as “quid pro quo” harassment, otherwise known as “this for that” harassment. Quid pro quo harassment occurs when an employee is offered an employment benefit in return for sexual favors. The second type of sexual harassment is known as “hostile work environment” harassment. A hostile work environment occurs when an employee is subjected to a severe or pervasive pattern of unwanted sexual behavior, comments, or visual displays.
