Mission Statement

The Equal Employment Practices Commission is empowered by the New York City Charter to monitor and evaluate the employment programs, practices, policies and procedures, of all city agencies to ensure that they maintain an effective affirmative employment program of equal employment opportunity for protected groups who are employed by, or seek employment with, the New York City government. We are therefore committed to ensuring that all protected groups employed by, or seeking employment with, city agencies are fully aware of their rights under the appropriate Federal, State, and City laws against employment discrimination.
