Quid Pro Quo Legal

The Quid Pro Quo Legal definition, describes this as the second type of sexual harassment. Quid Pro Quo harassment occurs when an individual's job entails conditions, which are set by a manager or other form of supervisor. The type of conditions set by the person, involves some kind of job benefit or promotion in return for sexual favors by the employee. Adverse job actions entail termination, denying a raise or promotion, or constructive discharge, meaning that an employee left due to job conditions that were made intolerable. A person can claim this kind of harassment when their job is directly affected in relation to their sexual submission. This means the individuals rejection of such sexual advances relates to some type of adverse job action.
