Uber has agreed to pay more than $4 million after it was found to have permitted a culture of sexual harassment and retaliation.
The ride-share and tech industry giant will establish a fund of $4.4 million to compensate anyone who the EEOC determines experienced sexual harassment, retaliation or both after Jan. 1, 2014.
Moreover, Uber will update its policies with the help of a third-party consultant and be monitored for a period of three years by former EEOC Commissioner Fred Alvarez. Uber’s chief legal officer Tony West said they have"worked hard to ensure that all employees can thrive at Uber by putting fairness and accountability at the heart of who we are and what we do."
