Google has agreed to pay $3.8 million for discriminatory treatment of women and Asians. This is stated on the website of the US Department of Labor.

The audit found that some corporate branches paid men and women differently and did not hire Asians. Google was also ordered to create a $1.25 million special fund. Funds from it will have to be used to adjust the salaries of employees over the next five years. The company promised to do everything possible to prevent unequal treatment of employees and job applicants in the future.

Earlier, it was reported that the United States Department of Justice was investigating the case against the head of SpaceX Elon Musk. The company is suspected of discriminating against immigrants when hiring. The authorities required SpaceX to provide information about the citizenship and status of their employees in the United States. The company’s management refused to do this. As a result, the Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit.
