The tech company says it’ll pay $118 million to more 15,000 women for paying them less than their male counterparts for similar work.
"We know that women and women minorities get paid substantially less than men across the board and I think companies need to be on notice that it’s not ok," said plaintiff Holly Pease, a former Google manager. "They were paying women differently. They were paying less for the same work from women, across thousands of women. It was statistically provable," Pease said.
"In 2020 alone, we made upward adjustments for 2,352 employees, across nearly every demographic category, totaling $4.4M. We also undertake rigorous analyses to ensure fairness in role leveling and performance ratings," the statement said.
