Google unveiled a platform on Tuesday which will let its workers calculate pay, benefits for remote workers and how their salary will be adjusted depending on the location.
The platform will also reveal how their pay and benefits will change if Google employees move to a cheaper or more expensive city. “With Google’s new hybrid workplace more employees are considering where they live and how they work,” a Google spokesperson told news agency AFP.
Workers will be able to see how their compensation, salary, and benefits will be modified based on their location, according to the new Work Location Tool, which claims that pay is based on local expenses of living and tuned to local job markets. According to Google, under the post-pandemic work model, 60% of its employees will gather in offices on a few days a week, and 20% of its employees will work in new locations. According to the article, the rest of the "Googlers" will be required to work from home. Google employs around 140,000 people all over the world.
As tech businesses restore office locations abandoned during the pandemic, Google CEO Sundar Pichai remarked on the necessity for flexibility in terms of remote work and location adjustments.
"We'll switch to a hybrid work week, in which most Googlers spend three days in the office and two days working from home." Because in-office time will be focused on collaboration, your product areas and functions will play a role in determining which days the team will meet in the office. Because of the nature of the work, some positions may need more than three days on-site each week,” Pichai wrote in an email to workers.
