Internet giant has to pay around three million euros after a comparison because it has disadvantaged women and Asians
The US Internet giant Google has to pay 3.8 million dollars (3.14 million euros) after a settlement because of underpaid and disadvantages of women and Asians. US Department of Labor investigators found that Google had temporarily underpaid 2,783 women in its software engineering group from 2014 to 2017. In addition, women and Asian applicants were disadvantaged in the 2017 financial year in job advertisements in San Francisco and Kirkland.
The settlement includes a reimbursement of $ 2.6 million to approximately 5,500 employees and applicants and calls for a review of Google's hiring and salary practices. The company said it was happy to have the matter resolved.
