Some Google employees who worked in offices before the coronavirus pandemic could have their pay cut if they choose to continue working from home, according to Reuters.
Screenshots sent to Reuters show a calculator that employees can use to see how much they will be paid if they continue to work remotely, with those living furthest from offices facing the biggest cuts.
The calculator showed that an employee at the company's New York office living in Stamford, Connecticut, which is one hour from New York City by train, would be paid 15% less if they chose to work from home.
However, the change won't affect those who live nearby, so an employee from the New York office living in the city would not be paid less if they worked remotely.
Remote working has been common in the tech industry for years, even before the pandemic, and Google says it has always paid people differently depending on where they work.
It also isn't the only company to do so. GitLab has paid its over 1,300 all-remote employees based on their location for years. Other companies, like Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter have already said they will cut the pay of employees working from home in less expensive areas.
However, some tech companies are taking the opposite approach. Reddit and Zillow plan to pay their employees the same amount no matter where they work, saying it improves diversity. It might also help them find and keep good employees.

👉Summary
《路透社》報導， Google員工若選擇繼續在家工作的話，可能面臨減薪的情況。舉例來說，居住在康乃狄克州史丹福，上班地點在紐約辦公室的員工，距離紐約搭火車約一個鐘頭，如果選擇在家辦公的話將減少15%的薪水。不過這項改變將不會影響住附近的人，所以住在紐約且在紐約辦公室上班的員工，如果遠端工作的話並不會被減薪。其他公司像是臉書、微軟和推特也表示他們將會縮減住在較便宜地區且在家上班的員工薪水。然而，有些科技公司則採取相反的方法。 Reddit和Zillow計畫不論員工在哪裡上班，都要支付他們一樣的薪資，並表示這樣做可以幫他們留住好員工。
