Google in hot water over gender pay dispute

Published

Google is set to pay U.S. $118 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit

Three women accusing Google of underpaying female workers have settled with the tech giant.

The women believe the company was part of a wage gap of around U.S. $17,000 for their colleagues.

They allege Google locks women into lower careers, which leads to less pay and lower bonuses.

“As a woman who’s spent her entire career in the tech industry, I’m optimistic that the actions Google has agreed to take as part of this settlement will ensure more equity for women.”

Holly Pease, a plaintiff in the case

Over 18,000 women have taken the pledge to see gender parity at the company.

But after nearly five years of litigation, it is understood both sides agreed to a resolution.

As part of the decision, Google must appoint an ‘independent labor economist’ to oversee its hiring practices and pay equity studies.

Google says it is “absolutely committed to paying, hiring and levelling all employees fairly and equally”.

Riot Games and Apple are among other tech companies who have faced gender pay disputes.
