Riot Games, maker of 'League of Legends,' agrees to pay $100 million in settlement of class-action gender discrimination lawsuit
The new settlement is with the DFEH, the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and certain individual claimants. All current and former California employees and contractors who identify as women and worked at Riot between November 2014 and present day qualify for a payout. At least 2,300 workers are eligible for part of the $80 million settlement, with those who started earlier or worked at the company longer receiving a larger allocation of the funds.
Company leadership wrote in the email that the number of eligible claimants has more than doubled since they hired more women at Riot in recent years. As part of the settlement, Riot must be monitored by a third party for three years. That party will oversee human resource complaints, how they are handled and whether employees of all genders are being paid fairly. The third party, which could be an individual, must be approved by both Riot and the DFEH. If the monitor discovers Riot needs to improve its practices, they can recommend changes that Riot can implement, which the judge presiding over the suit, Elihu M. Berle, may enforce.
