Quid Pro Quo translated is “something for something.” The most common occurrence happens when an employer engages in inappropriate behavior with an employee in exchange for job benefits, promotions, or avoidance of negative consequences.

Despite the perceived positives, such sexual contact endangers the working relationship over time and leads to more serious offense.

Certain procedures must be followed to ensure that sexual harassment incidents are documented properly and will allow evidence to be collected later.

It is advised to first clearly warn the harasser, regardless of whether they are a co-worker, manager, or nonemployee figure such as a customer, that their behavior is offensive. If this does not change the behavior or result in corrective action, review your company’s sexual harassment policy and procedure for submitting a sexual harassment claim. You may be directed to Human Resources, your manager, or another department.

If the company does not have a policy for sexual harassment, bring your complaint to the alleged harasser to your immediate supervisor, unless your supervisor IS the harasser. In that case, bring a report to their immediate supervisor.

For all of the above cursory steps, keep a record of the harassing conduct, your complaints, and your subsequent communications to company personnel regarding the harassment.

If you cannot resolve the harassment through internal procedures, you should file reports with state and federal agencies. This normally means you will contact your local Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If the EEOC cannot resolve the situation, they may file a lawsuit on your behalf or issue a “right to sue” letter, which you can then use in a civil lawsuit. You may qualify for compensatory and punitive damages.
