What is sexual harassment?
Sexual Harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature or gender-based that is based on power (your supervisor, manager, etc) requesting a sexual favor for a better working conditions (quid pro quo) that results in a hostile environment. The employer or supervisor may engage in retaliation if the conduct is refused.
