[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4206341, member: 63706"] Here's an article that may help you understand that it's not necessarily as simple as you would like it to be. [URL="https://employment.findlaw.com/employment-discrimination/sexual-harassment-what-is-it.html"]What is Sexual Harassment? - FindLaw[/URL] [B]"Types of Harassment: Quid Pro Quo and Hostile Work Environment[/B] There are [URL='https://employment.findlaw.com/employment-discrimination/understanding-different-types-of-harassment.html']two different types of sexual harassment[/URL] claims, although the manner in which a court will distinguish between the two for purposes of deciding whether harassment has occurred has become blurred in recent years: [LIST] [*][URL='https://employment.findlaw.com/employment-discrimination/what-is-quid-pro-quo-harassment.html']Quid Pro Quo[/URL]: Sexual harassment that occurs when a supervisor or one in an authority position requests sex, or a sexual relationship, in exchange for not firing or otherwise punishing the employee, or in exchange for favors, such as promotions or raises.

[/LIST] I am being cautious because I wouldn't want to tell someone they were for sure sexually harassed based on one side of the story. The OP clearly felt uncomfortable with the situation, and I don't blame her. But HR has to walk a fine line, if they don't respond to the allegations appropriately, either the supervisor or the OP could sue the company. Having said all that, no one should take legal advice from random people on the internet, anyway. [/QUOTE]
