What Constitutes Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment in the Workplace?

The term “quid pro quo” is a Latin phrase that translates to “favor for favor” or “give and take,” meaning that there is an exchange between the individuals involved. This form of sexual harassment occurs when an individual is requested to partake in sexual favors in the workplace in exchange for workplace benefits. An individual might also find that these requests can come with threats, meaning that if you do not grant the favor, your employment could be harmed.

Typically, in order to qualify as quid pro quo sexual harassment, the request for sexual favors must come from an individual who holds a position of authority over others in the workplace. These individuals might include managers, supervisors, bosses, or the owners of the business or company.

The benefits that may be offered in exchange for certain sexual favors in the workplace in situations of quid pro quo sexual harassment can include:

  • Receiving a raise.
  • Receiving a promotion.
  • Receiving a favorable recommendation.
  • Being given desired work shifts or hours.
  • Being given favorable performance reviews.

On the opposite side, the individual in authority over employees might threaten certain repercussions if sexual favors are not granted. These negative consequences might include:

  • Being fired.
  • Receiving a demotion.
  • Being given a poor performance review for seemingly no real reason.
  • Being treated differently than others, which could be grounds for a discrimination claim.
  • Being given an unmanageable or undesirable work schedule as punishment.

If you have suffered any of these actions or have been offered any of these benefits for granting certain sexual favors in your San Diego place of employment, you may be entitled to file a claim and receive compensation. The attorneys at Diefer Law Group can help.
