In addition, the 56 are part of a wider class action consisting of 485 female and minority engineers claiming discrimination for pay disparity. Each of these claimants will receive an average of $11,000 each, giving a back-of-the-envelope estimate of just over $5.3 million. Totted up, this gives a total payout of roughly $7.2 million.
The average settlement figures were first reported by Bloomberg citing documents submitted to a federal judge in Oakland, California on Monday.
