Common Forms of Sexual Harassment

There are two common forms of sexual harassment:

• "Quid Pro Quo" Sexual Harassment: Many cases of sexual harassment occur in situations where benefits (such as salary increases, promotions, work assignments, etc.) are only granted to an employee in exchange for sexual favors or when an employee is threatened with termination or lesser consequences if they refuse to provide sexual favors.
• Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment: Another common form of sexual harassment involves situations where an employee is the victim of hostility, where unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, and/or physical conduct toward them is sexual or based on their gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

What to Do If You Experience Sexual Harassment at Work

If you are experiencing sexual harassment at work, you should take the following steps:

• Keep a written record of specific dates and the comments or behaviors that made you feel uncomfortable
• If you feel safe, inform the harasser that their behavior is offensive and unwelcome
• Report the harassment to your manager or supervisor and request they put a stop to it
• Cooperate in the employer’s investigation of your sexual harassment complaint
• Document any other instances of sexual harassment you experience after your report
• If your employer fails to take action, file a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
• Consult with a knowledgeable sexual harassment lawyer to discuss your options under the law
