Michael Baker International Inc. agreed to pay $122,299 in back wages as part of an agreement with the U.S. Dept. of Labor to resolve allegations that the engineer-consultant paid women in four job titles less than their male counterparts. 

Officials at the agency's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs said they discovered the alleged pay discrimination during a routine compliance review of the firm as a federal contractor. It found the Pittsburgh-based firm was not in compliance with equal employment opportunity nondiscrimination requirements between January 2020 and June 2021.
