Understanding Supervisor-Driven Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment by a supervisor can take various forms, including unwelcome advances, coercion, and creating a hostile work environment. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines supervisor-driven sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual behavior or requests for sexual favors where the harasser holds a position of authority over the victim. This includes:
• Unwanted sexual advances: Physical or verbal conduct of a sexual nature initiated by a supervisor.
• Quid pro quo harassment: Requests for sexual favors in exchange for job benefits such as promotions, raises, or continued employment.
• Retaliation for rejecting advances: Negative job consequences, including demotions, dismissals, or hostile work conditions, as a result of rejecting sexual advances.
• Creating a hostile work environment: Actions by a supervisor that create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work atmosphere through sexually derogatory comments or behavior.
Entitlement to Compensation
Employees who have been sexually harassed by their supervisors may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
• Compensation for Emotional Distress: Victims may receive compensation for the emotional and psychological impact of harassment, including anxiety, depression, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Lost Wages and Benefits: Compensation for lost income and benefits resulting from demotions, job loss, or being forced to leave a hostile work environment.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the harasser and deter similar future behavior.
• Legal Fees: Reimbursement for legal expenses incurred in pursuing the claim.
