What Is ‘Quid Pro Quo’ Harassment?

“Quid pro quo” harassment is when an employee is pressured by an owner, executive or supervisor to provide sexual favors in exchange for something, such as a promotion or raise in the company. This is illegal because of the harasser’s position of authority, as well as the implied threat that a subordinate who does not cooperate will lose his or her job.
