Practice question
A supervisor demands a sexual favor as a condition for promoting an employee. The employee refuses. Does refusal alone prevent application of RA 7877’s definition?
- Yes, the favor must first be accepted
- No, the definition applies regardless of whether the demand is accepted, assuming the other elements are met
- Yes, unless three other workers heard the demand
- Yes, unless the employer loses money
- No, because every promotion disagreement is automatically sexual harassment
