NYC Equal Employment Practices Commission

The NYC Equal Employment Practices Commission, headquartered in New York, is an independent government agency established in 1989. Its mission is to ensure equal employment opportunities within the City of New York's government. The Commission evaluates the employment practices, programs, and procedures of city agencies, focusing on agencies where the majority of board members are appointed by the Mayor, serve as city officers, or receive funding from the City treasury. This evaluation aims to ensure compliance with the City's Human Rights Law, as well as relevant state and federal anti-discrimination laws. A core responsibility of the NYC Equal Employment Practices Commission is promoting effective affirmative employment programs. These programs aim to enhance equal employment opportunity for all individuals seeking employment or currently employed by New York City government.
