“Quid pro quo” sexual harassment implies that there has been sexual harassment on the basis of sexual favors being demanded while promising job opportunities in return (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). There can also be other benefits provided to the individual providing sexual favors. Increases in salaries and promotions are examples of other benefits provided to the individual providing sexual favors.
