The law generally recognizes two categories of sexual harassment:

• Quid pro quo: In this form of harassment, an employer or supervisor demands sex or involves toleration of sexual harassment from an employee. They threaten that the employee will lose their job or benefits if they refuse.
• Hostile work environment: The harassing conduct is frequent, often including inappropriate touching and verbal abuse. This form could involve one or many employees.

Regardless of the form of sexual harassment, the situation can quickly lead to acts of retaliation from an employer if their misconduct is refused or reported. These could include:

• Isolation
• Loss of work hours and benefits
• Less desirable assignments
• Demotion or overlooked for promotion
• Termination
