Is that global or just the employees in California?

It won't apply outside the USA. International people never get such payouts, yet get the same treatment
That said, the headcount reported in Alphabet's last quarterly statement to investors was ~69k, but it depends what this 65k figure includes (temps / vendors / contractors? interns? past employees?). If it's just straight-up fulltime employees, then that's certainly not just California. And the payouts might vary from state to state -- a number of these claimed labor violations cite California law.

(Of course, I'm doubtful that any general payout is coming around.)
