In sexual harassment and hostile work environment cases, “quid pro quo” is a legal phrase that means your employer is expecting something, usually sexual favors or a date, in exchange for a pay raise, a promotion or special opportunities at work. Formally, it is referred to as quid pro quo sexual harassment. Your claim may lack some of the specifics of typical cases, such as inappropriate touching or lewd language, but it can still be sexual harassment.

What Can Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment Look Like?
Typically, quid pro quo cases are very straightforward. The types of activity that constitute quid pro quo sexual harassment range from sexual assault and battery to more subtle forms of conduct, such as requesting dates following a pay raise.
After spurning your supervisor or boss’s attempts at a quid pro quo arrangement, it is typical to experience retaliation or a hostile work environment. Victims often experience some form of discrimination, lost promotions or a change of work hours. If you start to feel uncomfortable about your working relationship, you are probably right that you are working in a hostile work environment and sexual harassment is taking place.
