Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quid pro quo harassment occurs when a person in authority makes a job benefit (such as a promotion, raise, or continued employment) contingent upon the employee providing some form of sexual favor. In this scenario, the boss implies that Sashi's promotion could be reciprocated with sexual favors, fitting the definition of quid pro quo harassment.
