Google is settling a class-action lawsuit that argued it underpaid women employees and assigned them lower-ranking positions. The $118 million settlement covers about 15,500 women employees who have worked for the company in California since September 2013. What was the issue? In 2017, several former Google employees sued the company in a San Francisco court, accusing it of paying women less than men for equivalent positions and assigning women lower positions than men with similar experiences because they had previously earned smaller salaries. Google previously agreed in 2021 to pay $3.8 million to the U.S. Department of Labor over accusations it had discriminated against women and Asians.
