HireNYC: The Public Assistance Hiring Commitment

Organizations that enter into contracts with the City Of New York are required to hire one Public Assistance (PA) recipient for every $250,000 of annualized contract value. The HRA Business Link office monitors and facilitates the compliance of HRA, ACS, DHS, DOHMH, DYCD, DFTA and SBS contractors with this requirement. Hires may be made anywhere within the contractors' organization and/or through its subcontractors. In order for a new hire to count toward an organization's PA hiring requirement that hire must be:

• In receipt of Public Assistance (PA) on the date of hire
• Paid at least the legally mandated minimum wage
• Working a minimum of 20 hours per week
• Retained in employment for at least one (1) full year. If a hire does not remain employed for one year, the organization may hire and retain another PA Recipient for the remainder of the year in order to be credited for making one (1) qualifying hire.
