Company pay parity laws Company pay parity laws

2 years ago

I'm working in American MNC ( Concentrix Daksh services India Pvt Ltd) situated in Gurugram, haryana, India. The nature of company is service provider to top clients including global tech giants. And I'm working for one of the world's biggest tech giant (Google TVC ), by providing services in specific project on behalf of above mentioned company (CNX ). So, I came to know that we are offered very less salary as compared to average salary in other regions in world and no where near the average salary of Google. And recently it's highlighted by whistleblower that Google illegally underpaid thousands of workers in many countries breaching pay parity laws. So I need advice in context of that if pay parity laws says in US that Google TVCs ( temporary, vendors and contractual workers ) are entitled to equal compensation. So is it possible to highlight same issue in India as well, and if yes, how to do it and how to get success in receiving the entitled compensation from Google or main company ( cnx), ( which ever is culprit ). I'm adding few links for references and better understanding. https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/10/google-underpaid-workers-illegal-pay-disparity-documents https://payparity.org/

A.Dear Client,
The concept of pay parity exists in developed western countries and in developing countries due to abundance of workforce nobody pays attention to that as cheap labour is easily available. So if you raise your voice they may start looking for alternatives. Having said that can we just leave it as it is. No!
We must act in manner to bring the pay parity to whatever possible extent. My suggestion to you would be that speak to some of the influencers in teh industry and slwoly start raising the voice for pay parity. Let this be built into a big move gradually so that the employers are made aware of it in a legal way.
Write letters to Labour. Law and IT Ministry on this and seek their intervention.
If required you can hire a lawyer too who can guide you on the way
