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.

Shirley Aldebol

Has the vendor provided any updates to you about their findings?

Shirley Aldebol

And do you have a general understanding of the timeline for the completion of this analysis?

Katrina Porter

Thank you for that question.

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.
