A group of Google contractors says they’ve been underpaid by the agency thousands of dollars in unpaid wages per affected worker. The earliest reports occurred as long ago as 2019 and workers say the payroll errors are happening so orderly wage theft. Guy a contract employee in the bay area found out about the issue four months into his job when co-workers the suggested he check when he followed their advice he exposed he’d been contracted for 50 percent more money than he’d been contracted for 50 percent more money than he’d been making. I found out they had been paying me $20 an hour but they were telling Google they were paying me $30.08 an hour. That was in the middle of March and fundamentally they haven’t done anything about it. Applied over his six-month term at Artech the discrepancy added up to more than $10,000. The earliest known example of the wage discrepancy comes from Laura a Google contractor who was recruited in 2019. Eager to break into the industry she was willing to accept the $25 an hour pay rate listed in the job description although it made life in the bay area nearly indefensible.

Greene added up getting her back pay but the incident left her wondering how many others were involved. More freshly she started sharing her experience with other contractors organizing them into a loose confederation.
