Career-networking service LinkedIn has agreed to pay $1.8 million in back wages to almost 700 female workers to settle a pay discrimination complaint brought by U.S. labor investigators.
Tuesday that it reached a settlement agreement with LinkedIn to resolve allegations of"systemic, gender-based pay discrimination" in which women were paid less than men in comparable job roles.
LinkedIn has denied the pay discrimination and argued that its statistical models didn't identify pay disparities, according to the"While we have agreed to settle this matter, we do not agree with the government's claims," LinkedIn said in aMonday."LinkedIn pays and has paid its employees fairly and equitably when comparing similar work."
The Labor Department said its own analysis found significant pay disparities even after controlling for"legitimate explanatory factors." $370,974 in back pay for women working in the product division in Sunnyvale plus $13,120 in interest. $424,506 in back pay for women working in marketing in San Francisco plus $13,120 in interest.
