What is quid pro quo sexual harassment?

To be considered quid pro quo sexual harassment, the actions of an employer or representative of an employer must have met the following conditions. First, an employer, or representative of that employer, must have made any aspect of an individual’s employment contingent upon the employee’s performance of a sexual favor. Once this unwanted sexual advance has been declined, however, there must be some tangible form of punishment that resulted to be considered quid pro quo sexual harassment.
