CRD claimed that workers who took protected leave 'received lower bonuses and unfavorable performance reviews that, in turn, harmed their eligibility for merit increases, stock awards, and promotions.'
The California Department also alleged that Microsoft 'failed to take sufficient action to prevent discrimination from occurring, altering the career trajectory of women, people with disabilities, and other employees...'
Microsoft must retain an independent consultant for policy and practice recommendations to prevent discrimination around protected leave decisions and ensure a fair process for complaints.
'The settlement announced today will provide direct relief to impacted workers and safeguard against future discrimination at the company,' Kevin Kirsh, CRD's director, stated.
