“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.
