Apple is facing a lawsuit from two employees who allege gender discrimination within the company.
According to Reuters, two women have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit in a San Francisco state court, seeking to represent more than 12,000 current and former female employees in California. The lawsuit claims that Apple pays women less than men for the same job roles and asserts that the company’s performance review system is biased against women, resulting in lower salaries.

The plaintiffs allege that Apple has violated California’s Equal Pay Act, which mandates equal pay for employees performing the same type of work based on skill, effort, and responsibility. Apple responded to the allegations by stating its commitment to pay equity regardless of gender, including partnering with independent experts annually to review compensation and make adjustments for pay equity.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and penalties from Apple.
