An employee standing in an empty breakroom listens to a supervisor share information about Quid Pro Quo harassment.

Quid Pro Quo (Cont’d)

These requests are often combined with a threat that the employee’s submission to, or rejection of, such conduct is:

  • Explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, or is
  • Used as the basis for employment decisions.

In other words, quid pro quo harassment involves a supervisor offering something or threatening to withhold something in exchange for a sexual relationship.
