In a significant legal settlement, Disney has agreed to pay $43 million to resolve claims of systematically underpaying female employees. This case underscores the importance of addressing pay inequities and the legal risks associated with compensation practices. The lawsuit, filed in 2019 by LaRonda Rasmussen, highlighted pay disparities between her and male colleagues with the same job title. Approximately 9,000 current and former female employees joined the case. As part of the settlement, Disney will pay $43.25 million and conduct a pay equity analysis over the next three years.
