Through its community outreach and the work of its offices of Financial Empowerment and Labor Policy & Standards, DCWP empowers consumers and working families by providing the tools and resources they need to educate consumers and to achieve financial health and work-life balance.

The Office of Labor Policy & Standards ("OLPS") enforces the City's worker protection laws, including the Paid Safe and Sick Leave Law, Fair Workweek scheduling laws that protect fast food and retail workers, and Delivery Worker Laws that protect app-based restaurant delivery workers. In OLPS' large, citywide enforcement actions, teams of attorneys, data scientists, and investigators work together to obtain compensation owed to workers and improve employer compliance. Since 2022, through our enforcement we have recovered over $47 million in restitution, and distributed it to over 34,000 working New Yorkers. Other programs include the Freelance Isn't Free Act (FIFA) program, which assists freelance workers who have experienced wage theft and other violations, and our Paid Care Division, which focuses on workplace issues specific to nannies, housecleaners, home health aides, and other paid care workers. More information about our office is available at nyc.gov/workers.
