Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paying a man more than a woman for doing the same job is an example of gender discrimination, but it is not an example of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

Answer: B, C, and D are all examples of sexual harassment.
 Promoting a female employee after she agrees to an after-work date can create a hostile work environment for other female employees who may feel pressured to engage in similar behavior in order to be promoted. Permitting male employees to tell sexist jokes that female staff find offensive can also create a hostile work environment. Allowing a customer to demand sexual favors from an employee is a clear example of sexual harassment.
