These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The FEHA prohibits the sexual harassment of an employee. (Gov. Code, § 12940 , subd. (j)(1).) Sexual harassment consists of any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. ( Fisher v. San Pedro Peninsula Hospital (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 590 , 607 [ 262 Cal.Rptr. 842 ] ( Fisher ).) It usually arises in two contexts. `Quid pro quo' harassment conditions an employee's continued enjoyment of job benefits on submission to the harassment. `Hostile work environment' harassment has the purpose or effect of either interfering with the work performance of an employee, or creating an intimidating workplace. ( Weeks [v. Baker McKenzie (1998)] 63 Cal.App.4th [1128 ,] 1146 [ 74 Cal.Rptr.2d 510 ].)”
