Earlier this year, the federal regulator alleged “extreme” pay discrimination in positions and departments throughout Google and sued the Mountain View, California-based company for salary records as part of its audit. Google has publicly insisted that it has no gender pay gap and is a leader on diversity and inclusion. “It’s just an open-ended probe into the job duties of every employee in the entire company,” said the Google attorney Zachary Hutton. She also said Google did not yet have to provide any of the broader documents and records at this preliminary stage. “There is a serious problem at Google of paying women less,” testified Kelly Dermody, another lawyer representing the employees.
