<i>Online Extra</i><br>DOL Sues Google Over Failure to Provide Compensation Data

BY Rebekah Mintzer
February 01, 2017

The Department of Labor (DOL) is asking an administrative law judge to order the company to turn over information on job and salary history for employees including starting salary, starting position, starting job level and other “snapshot” information from Sept. 1 2014 and Sept. 2015 along with names and contact information for employees.

The department said that “unless restrained by an administrative order, Google will continue to violate its obligations.” It requested that the administrative law judge compel Google to comply, or else issue an order cancelling the company's contracts and subcontracts and barring the company from entering into future contracts.

In response to the claims, Google said in an emailed statement that it did not reveal the data because of the belief that requests were too broad, and asked for confidential information.
