Snapchat Inc. has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a lawsuit filed by California’s civil rights agency, alleging discrimination against female employees, failure to prevent workplace sexual harassment, and retaliation against women who complained. The settlement covers women who worked for the company in California between 2014 and 2024, pending court approval.
The California Civil Rights Department announced the resolution of the more than three-year investigation, which focused on claims of pay and promotion discrimination against female employees at the Santa Monica-based company. The majority of the settlement funds will be allocated to affected employees.
