Is it really all about the Benjamins? Recently, Daily Mail reported that Benjamin Wey, a Wall Street CEO, was forced to pay his former female intern $5.65 million in conjunction with a sexual harassment lawsuit. Our regular employment discrimination blog readers already know that sexual harassment in the workplace is a type of gender discrimination that violates both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Ohio Revised Code 4112.

Unlawful sexual harassment may be either in the form of quid pro quo harassment or hostile work environment. Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when (1) an employee is subjected to unwelcome sexual harassment, be that in the form of sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; (2) the harassment is unwelcome; (3) submission to the harassment is a condition for receiving job benefits, or refusal to submit would result in termination or denial of job benefits; (4) the harasser was a supervisor or agent of the employer; (5) the employee was harmed; and (6) the harassment caused the employee’s harm. Examples of quid pro quo sexual harassment are: a boss tells their employee that he or she will be fired or demoted if they do not have sex with the boss or give a manager a blow job; an employee breaks off a consensual relationship with a supervisor; and then the employee refusing that offer is demoted or fired.  (See Can My Boss Fire Me If I Refuse His Sexual Advances? ; Can I Sue If My Boss Texted A Demand To Have Sex With Him?; and My Boss Forced Me To Have Sex! )

Hostile work environment is a bit different. To establish a claim for hostile work environment, the victim employee has to show that (1) he or she was subjected to unwanted harassment; (2) the harassment was based on sex; and (3) the harassment was so severe or pervasive that it altered the conditions of employment. Examples of hostile work environment are: a supervisor showed employees pornographic pictures or porn videos; a boss gave an employee a sexually suggestive nickname; or a mangers grabbed or touched an employee in an inappropriate sexual manner, such as on the butt or the breasts.

Although nothing can ever right the wrong of sexual harassment, cold hard cash sure does help. Benjamin Wey’s former intern accused him of pressuring her into sex. They had several sexual encounters before the intern rejected his further attempts, and Benjamin eventually wrongfully fired the woman employee when he discovered that she had a boyfriend. This would fall under the former category of quid pro quo sexual harassment. And the female employee got a huge payout, $5.65 million to be exact. But that was not the end of it. As part of their settlement agreement, Benjamin was required to pay the intern $10,000 for every negative tweet he published about her and $50,000 for each time he tried to communicate with her. The former employee now has asserted t that Benjamin violate the twitter agreement 59 times, and tried to communicate with her 26 times. She is now suing him for an addition $2.4 million. That’s a lot of Benjamin’s Benjamins.
