The Division of Labor Services (DLS) ensures jobs created by New York City contracts and the Industrial and Commercial Incentive Program (ICIP) are available to all qualified individuals regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or citizenship status.  DLS helps contractors implement fair employment policies and practices, and assists them in their efforts to increase the representation of minorities and women in their workforce.

Program Overview
DLS enforces Executive Order No. 50, which requires City contractors comply with federal, state, and local equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws and regulations.  Prior to the award of a City contract or ICIP benefit, a contractor must submit an Employment Report containing information on their employment policies and practices and workforce composition.  DLS will analyze the report to determine if the contractor maintains nondiscriminatory hiring and employment practices. The following contractors must submit an Employment Report to DLS.
