Credit Suisse was ordered by a French court to pay €910,000 to a trader whose promotion and raise were put on hold after she announced her pregnancy, according to a court order seen by AFP. In court, she cited about 10 incidents to support her claim, including “structural sex discrimination within the company” and the “sudden termination of her variable compensation coinciding with her pregnancy”. The judgment from the Paris Court of Appeal said the documents provided by the plaintiff “materially establish” the “structural sex discrimination within the company”. Credit Suisse has since been acquired by its main competitor, UBS. Tuesday’s decision is not final, leaving Credit Suisse the right to appeal.
