Mission Statement

Established to promote equal opportunity in City employment, the Equal Employment Practices Commission (EEPC or Commission) monitors and evaluates the employment programs, practices, policies and procedures of city agencies to ensure that individual agencies and the City as an employer maintain an effective affirmative employment program of equal employment opportunity for those employed by, or seeking employment with, New York City government. The EEPC makes recommendations to assist in implementing and maintaining effective anti-discriminatory employment practices; procedures for investigating discrimination complaints; and programs to educate employees about unlawful discriminatory practices.
