A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to reporting of pay and employment equity data

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative intent and findings. The council finds that it should be the policy of this city to pursue the establishment of equitable compensation relationships between female-dominated, male-dominated, and other segregated titles to eliminate pay disparities in public employment citywide. Pay disparities within the city workforce threaten the terms, conditions and privileges of city employment. Such disparities can exist based on gender, race or other protected category enumerated in the city of New York's human rights law. The council hereby finds and declares that in order to find and eliminate pay disparities in public employment citywide, it is necessary for the council, pursuant to the charter of the city of New York, to exercise its powers of investigation and oversight over city agencies through access to and analysis of such agencies' pay and employment data. The council, through its committee system will provide an avenue for public engagement on the issue of pay disparity within the city workforce. The council through its committee system and legislative division will provide for the release of findings and analysis on pay disparity.
