Philadelphia Sexual Harrassment Attorney

Sexual harassment has several forms. All constitute abuse of employer power. One definition of sexual harassment in the workplace, known as quid pro quo sexual harassment, occurs when sexual conduct is a condition of tangible employment benefits. This includes salary, promotions, and even continued employment. Sexual harassment under this theory constitutes the denial of an employment opportunity because of the individual’s refusal to have sexual or social relations with a supervisor.

There are several forms of sexual harassment in the workplace. Quid pro quo means “something for something,” and occurs when specific employment benefits (salary, promotions, continued employment, etc) are conditional on sexual or social relations. A hostile work environment may exist when an employer tolerates or encourages sexually offensive conduct in the work environment making others feel uncomfortable and interfering with work performance due to his/her sex. Hostile work environment may also exist on the basis of racial, sexual orientation, or other discriminatory grounds. However, a sexually-based hostile work environment may be nearly indistinguishable from normal social relationships between men or women.
