![]() ![]() Google has shared resources for employers to see their potential pay adjustments based on where they work remotely. ![]() Google, however, will also increase an employee’s pay if they move to a premium plus location like New York or Mountain View, which are two of the top relocation destinations. Yet this approval isn’t a magic ticket-some relocating employees are subject to a pay cut depending on where they choose to work. According to Google, 85% of the 20,000 requests that have been submitted have been approved. But the tiered system has started to rub people the wrong way during Google’s RTO phase.Īs part of its three-day a week hybrid work plan, the company has also allowed workers to request approval to relocate and/or go completely remote. To account for the cost of living, coastal workers in areas like Mountain View are categorized as “premium plus” and paid 15% more than their counterparts in mid-sized markets such as Chicago and 25% more than employees in areas like Raleigh-Durham. Google’s protocol of paying based on location is not new. It’s a huge mistake, unless you’re trying to get those people to quit,” says Bock. Even if Google is trying to be pragmatic with salary changes, these adjustments will only upset employees and lead to people resigning, Bock continues. Pay cuts are “one of the most insulting, emotionally difficult things you can do to an employee,” Bock tells Fortune‘s Beth Kowitt. ![]()
