Birmingham Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment Lawyer

The most commonly recognized form of sexual harassment is known as quid pro quo sexual harassment. As a matter of law, it is prohibited to make employment and associated job benefits contingent on the employee’s performance of sexual favors to an employer, supervisor or agent of the employer that is in the position of authority to make decisions on employment actions. Likewise, it is unlawful for an employer to deny an employee a job benefit based on that employee’s rejection of a sexual advance or request for sexual favors.

Benefits commonly promised in quid pro quo harassment cases include:

  • Beneficial shift or work assignments
  • Salary increases
  • Promotions
  • Adjusted performance expectations

Liability for Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment

When an employee establishes a case of sexual harassment, employers then must show that the sexual harassment did not occur. If the employer cannot meet this burden of proof, they can be held strictly liable for quid pro quo sexual harassment because it is deemed that supervisors, managers, and agents were acting directly on behalf of the employer.
