2. “Quid Pro Quo” Harassment  

This type of harassment occurs when a job or a job benefit is conditioned upon sexual favors. In the typical case, an employee is promised better treatment, such as a promotion, transfer, raise or favorable recommendation if the employee submits to sexual advances. It could also occur when a supervisor threatens an employee with termination, demotion, or loss of other job-related benefits if the employee does not agree to sexual favors. 

Although sexual harassment claims are most commonly brought by females against males, sexual harassment can also occur by females against males and by members of the same-sex.
