CxO Global Forum’s Post

Microsoft Corporation has agreed to pay $14 million to settle claims by the California Civil Rights Department that it unlawfully penalized employees who took medical or family-care leave. The allegations included retaliation against California-based workers using parental, disability, pregnancy, and family-care leave since 2017, affecting their career advancement opportunities. Although Microsoft denied wrongdoing, the settlement aims to resolve a multiyear investigation, providing relief to affected employees and implementing measures to prevent future discrimination. This includes hiring an independent consultant to review company policies and providing training to managers and HR personnel. #Microsoft #LeaveDiscrimination #CaliforniaCivilRights #EmployeeRights #SettlementNews #HRPolicies #CxONews #CxOGlobalForum
