There are two basic types of sexual harassment: quid pro quo and a hostile work environment. Unfair actions were taken by a manager or job that is motivated by sexual attraction (typically following a refusal of the manager’s advances), such as unfair disciplinary action, receiving a demotion, or being fired, constitute gender-based discrimination. Additionally, a hostile work environment based on gender is a form of discrimination because the hostile work environment is in and of itself the adverse employment action suffered by the employee.
