Tafep not taking action against Ubisoft after probe into claims of workplace harassment, salary disputes

SINGAPORE — After an investigation into claims of salary disparities and workplace harassment at video game company Ubisoft, no action will be taken against it.

The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) said in a statement on Thursday (Jan 27) that the French company behind video game franchises Assassins' Creed and Just Dance has a structured process to remunerate its employees fairly. 

Tafep also noted that the company took appropriate action when harassment reports were found to be true and arrangements were made to minimise future work interactions between both parties. 

The alliance first received anonymous feedback on Ubisoft last July, which made reference to a report posted on Kotaku, a gaming community website.

The report claimed that Ubisoft did not pay Singapore junior developers “enough to move out of their parents’ homes” and the salary gap between residents and expats were “insane”.
