"US: Google to pay $11 million to settle age discrimination claims from job applicants", 23 Jul 2019

Google is set to pay $11 million without admission of liability to settle claims from 227 people who say they were denied jobs with the search giant because of their age.

The settlement, which has not yet been approved by the judge in the case, will bring the legal battle to a close after more than four years...

...[T]he class-action lawsuit went ahead with Cheryl Fillekes, who was interviewed at Google four times over a seven-year period but was never hired, as the lead plaintiff.

The $11 million payout will include around $2.75 million in legal costs, Bloomberg reports...

Google maintains that it did not intentionally discriminate against Ms Fillekes or any of the other plaintiffs because of their age.
