Types of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

There are three types of sexual harassment under which an employee may recover damages:

  • Quid pro quo harassment: When any employee offers any job benefit or threatens any job detriment in exchange for sexual favors. Any time an employee promises—either expressly or implicitly—that career advancement may be linked to sexual actions, they are acting in violation of the law.
  • Hostile work environment: When a workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation and harassing conduct sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of employment. The victim need not prove that the harasser was motivated by sexual attraction.
  • Paramour Favoritism: When you are not personally propositioned, but your workplace is made hostile by sexual favoritism. This typically involvesother employees engaging in affairs with executives. If these employees receive raises and promotions because of it, you will have a claim for sexual harassment under paramour favoritism.

What is a Hostile Work Environment?

A workplace is considered hostile when there are:

  • Numerous sexual or sexist comments
  • Negative stereotypes about the victim’s gender
  • Sexual jokes
  • Propositions
  • Lewd remarks or insults directed at one sex but not the other
  • Any form of hostility or abusive conduct directed at women but not men
  • Negative personnel decisions (poor reviews or discipline) that send a hostile message based on gender

When Is the Company Liable for Sexual Harassment?

In cases where a non-supervisor is accused of sexual harassment, the company is only liable if they knew of the harassment. However, if a supervisor perpetrates the sexual harassment the company is automatically liable for the harm caused.

If no supervisor or manager engaged in the sexual harassment, you should try to show that the employer:

  • Knew or should have known of the harassment by demonstrating that it was so pervasive, i.e., frequent, that the company had to know
  • Knew that the harasser had committed similar offenses previously
  • Had previously been alerted about the harasser, specifically through a complaint to a supervisor
