She joined the firm in Frankfurt in 2003 and moved to a position in London in 2005, according to her claim. She was promoted to executive director in 2009 and earned a base salary of 250,000 pounds in 2010 and 2011. That dropped to 192,000 pounds in 2012 and she didn’t receive bonuses in 2011 and 2013.
In January 2012, just a few months after Pereiro-Mendez informed management of her first pregnancy, she was told that she would receive “no bonus whatsoever” for 2011, she said in the suit.
The case is Pereiro-Mendez v Goldman Sachs Services Ltd. & Others, case no. 14-22-00892, London Central Employment Tribunal.
