Google Reportedly Denies Labor Department's Pay Disparity Allegations

(RTTNews) - Alphabet Inc.'s (GOOGL, GOOG) Google denied Department of Labor allegations that an in-progress investigation suggests "systemic compensation disparities against women" at the internet giant, according to reports.

"Every year, we do a comprehensive and robust analysis of pay across genders and we have found no gender pay gap. Other than making an unfounded statement which we heard for the first time in court, the DoL hasn't provided any data, or shared its methodology," reports said.

The Guardian reported that Labor Department regional director Janette Wipper testified in San Francisco court Friday that the pay disparities against women appear to be found "pretty much across the entire workforce" at the tech company. The investigation isn't complete but the department has received compelling evidence of "significant discrimination," the Guardian reported, citing the Labor Department's regional solicitor, Janet Herold.
