Apple is facing a potential class action lawsuit alleging that the company systematically underpaid female employees compared to their male counterparts. The lawsuit claims that Apple’s policies have resulted in a gender pay gap affecting approximately 12,000 women in its California-based engineering, AppleCare, and marketing divisions. Judge Ethan P. Schulman of the California Superior Court has largely denied Apple’s motions to dismiss the class allegations, allowing the case to move forward. The allegations include that Apple’s use of prior pay and pay expectations to set starting salaries, performance evaluations that favor men, and talent reviews that result in higher pay for men with similar talent levels, perpetuate and widen the pay gap. If the class action is certified and Apple loses, these women could be entitled to backpay.
