Oracle allegedly paid some female employees more than $13,000 less per year, on average, than male employees in similar roles, according an analysis of Oracle’s own pay data revealed Friday as part of a gender bias lawsuit against the company. The analysis was performed by economist David Neumark, a professor at UC Irvine, who claims the likelihood of such a disparity occurring by chance is less than one in 1 billion.

Neumark’s analysis was submitted in support of a motion to pursue the case against Oracle, filed in 2017, as a class action on behalf of 4,200 female employees who worked in the company’s product development, information technology, and support functions since 2013. The analysis shows that women are paid less even after controlling for career level, performance review scores, office location, tenure at Oracle, and overall work experience, in violation of California’s Equal Pay Act. The analysis excluded employees hired directly after college. Oracle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
