Contract Compliance

We help covered businesses comply with fair employment standards while increasing representation of minorities and women in their workforce.

Vendors doing business with the City and applicants/recipients of Industrial Commercial Incentive Program (ICIP) or the Industrial Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) benefits must comply with the terms and conditions of Executive Order 50, which prohibits discrimination against any employee, applicant, subcontractor or supplier with respect to all terms and conditions of employment, in compliance with City, State, and Federal requirements.

Compliance is documented through timely submission of policies, practices, and employment reports. ICIP and ICAP participants must also submit documents concerning utilization of Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs).

What is Equal Employment Opportunity?

Equal employment opportunity means that all employees and applicants for employment must not be discriminated against on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or citizenship status in all employment decisions, including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, compensation, training and apprenticeship, promotion, upgrading, demotion, downgrading, transfer, lay-off and termination, and all other terms and conditions of employment as provided by law.

Pre-Award Conference (PAC) Training

The Pre-Award Conference (PAC) presents an overview of some obligations and requirements that are distinguishing characteristics of public sector contracts. These stipulations are oriented towards social equity issues in the provision of public benefits. Vendors that successfully complete an electronic PAC (E-PAC) will receive a PAC certificate, which must be submitted alongside a completed employment report to the contracting Agency and/or entity processing your documentation.
