Aldebol asks about the Local Law 27 pay equity analysis timeline
Aldebol asks about the comparative worth analysis required by Local Law 27; Porter says the city contracted with a vendor in 2025, desk audits are beginning, and the first report to the Council is due May 7.
And as part of the city's mission to reduce pay disparities within the municipal workforce, the council passed several pieces of legislation requiring the administration to undergo a pay equity analysis.
One such law, Local Law 27 of 2023, required DCAS to contract with a vendor
to undertake a comparative worth analysis of city titles with the goal of ensuring that employees across the municipal workforce who perform substantively similar tasks are paid similarly.
Has the vendor provided any updates to you about their findings?
And do you have a general understanding of the timeline for the completion of this analysis?
Thank you for that question.
So yes, back in 2025, the city signed into a contract with illicit contracting to conduct that analysis and work is currently underway.
We're in the phase where the consultant will begin desk audits at the agency level.
And we're confident that and we're on track to ensure that that first report to the city council will be on time, which is May 7th.
So we're the first report is due to the city council on May 7th, and we're confident that we'll get it done by then.
