The laws prohibiting sexual harassment are clear that unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment. This type of conduct will inevitably affect a person’s day-to-day employment activities, from his or her performance to simply a generally offensive work environment difficult to navigate.

What is sexual harassment?

Quid pro quo

• This form of sexual harassment is usually easily identifiable. It generally involves someone in a management role threatening your employment or loss of a job benefit because you will not submit to a sexual demand. In turn, it can also apply when a job benefit or promotion is extended to you in return for performing a sexual favor.

Hostile work environment

• A hostile work environment is created through repetitive speech or conduct, such as jokes, pornographic images on computers or photos, unwanted attention, touching or other sexual attention.
