Round Rock-based Dell Technologies will pay $7 million to settle allegations of race and gender-based wage discrimination, the U.S. Labor Department said Monday.

Dell Technologies will provide $7 million in lost wages, interest and benefits to the affected workers, as well as "assuring that all employees are afforded equal employment opportunities," according to a news release announcing the agreement. The settlement includes $1.5 milllion already voluntarily paid in 2012.

The settlement with Dell is one of the largest obtained by the Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, which monitors government contractors for compliance with non-discrimination laws. Also Monday, financial services firm Goldman Sachs agreed to pay $10 about million to about 600 workers to settle pay discrimination claims at the company’s New York headquarters, according to the Labor Department.

“Dell Technologies is working with us to ensure pay equity corporate-wide,” Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs director Craig Leen said in a written statement. “Together, we will ensure that the company complies with equal employment opportunity laws in its employment practices, in addition to remedying findings that OFCCP made.”

The settlement with Dell resolves 20 outstanding compliance evaluations, the agency said. The Department of Labor also said Dell denies any liability.

In a written statement, Dell Technologies said: “Dell prides itself on being a leader in pay equity and inclusion. It’s how we do business. Using the Office of Federal Contract Compliances new early resolution procedures, Dell volunteered to work with the OFCCP toward a swift resolution of all open and pending matters. This positive outcome demonstrates our commitment to equal pay and opportunity. And embodies the great relationship Dell has had with the agency and will continue to have over the coming years.”

The company also settled a discrimination lawsuit in 2018, where it paid $2.9 million in back wages.

Dell Technologies is the largest private employer in Central Texas, with about 13,000 workers in the Austin metro area.
