NYC Local Law 144 — Automated Employment Decision Tools
NYC Dept of Consumer and Worker Protection · US-NY · effective 2023-07-05 · NYC_LL144
Requires an independent bias audit within the prior year, published results, and notice to candidates. One of the few regimes that mandates a third-party audit by statute.
7 controls, mapped to the evidence that satisfies each
Every control links to the dimension whose evidence would satisfy it. That mapping is the working link between an obligation written in law or a standard and a document somebody has to produce. Each row has its own address: link to a single control.
| Control | Title | Requirement | Satisfied by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 RCNY §5-303 | Published results content and duration | Published results include the data source used, the count of individuals in an unknown category, and per-category counts, rates and impact ratios, and stay posted at least 6 months after the AEDT's last use. | D1 |
| §20-871(a)(2) | Bias audit results published before use | A summary of the most recent bias audit's results and the tool's distribution date is published on the employer's or employment agency's website before the tool is used. | D1 |
| §20-871(b)(1) | Advance notice of AEDT use | Candidates and employees residing in the city are notified at least 10 business days before an AEDT is used on them, with the right to request an alternative selection process or accommodation. | D1 |
| §20-871(b)(2) | Notice of qualifications assessed | Candidates and employees are told, at least 10 business days before use, the job qualifications and characteristics the AEDT will use in its assessment. | D1 |
| 6 RCNY §5-301 | Bias audit calculation method | The bias audit calculates selection or scoring rate and the resulting impact ratio separately for sex, race/ethnicity, and intersectional categories, using the EEOC's Component 1 categories. | D4 |
| §20-871(a)(1) | Bias audit within one year | An AEDT may not be used to screen a candidate or employee unless it was the subject of an independent bias audit conducted no more than one year before that use. | D4 |
| §20-871(b)(3) | Data type, source and retention disclosed on request | The type of data collected for the AEDT, its source, and the employer's or agency's retention policy are disclosed on written request within 30 days, unless already published. | D5 |
What this mapping is, and what it is not
It is a reading of a published instrument, with each control cited to its source, mapped to the kind of evidence that would satisfy it. It is not legal advice, not a certification, and not a statement that any organisation complies with anything. Where an instrument is not yet in force, this page says so rather than selling urgency.
Talk to the person who built this
If you assess clients against this instrument, the mapping is the part you can check line by line. There is no sales team: this is founder-led, so it reaches the founder directly. Tenant access is $500 a month, and free early access to the method, the corpus and the router is on offer first if that is useful. If it is not a fit, saying so costs you one reply.
