Chelsea needs to stress to the supervisor that sexual harassment is not just physical contact or requiring sexual favors, but also includes conduct that creates an offensive work environment, which includes flirting and asking an employee out after they have already expressed discomfort. The supervisor's response of offering a raise as a way to make up for his behavior is also inappropriate and could further make the situation uncomfortable for Allison.
