Quid Pro Quo vs. Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment
There are two kinds of sexual harassment: hostile work environment and quid pro quo. Quid pro quo is where the terms and conditions of your employment are based on whether you give in or do not give in to sexual advances. A hostile work environment is unwanted sexual comments, sexual jokes, innuendos made about you or your body, or about your social preferences or things that go on in your personal life, and it's illegal. Not only can you not be sexually harassed at work, but you can't be retaliated against for complaining about it.
