New York City Automated Employment Decision Tools Bill

We suggest employers:

   1. Talk to legal counsel about this bill. Based on those discussions, many employers may decide to retain the services of an independent auditor.

   2. Consider the following points when undergoing a bias audit: 

• Identify all AEDTs used by your organization that are covered by the bill 
• Identify how each AEDT is used in your organization’s selection process(es) 

For each AEDT: 

• • Evaluate the purpose of the AEDT and how it was developed 
  • Identify the job characteristics and/or qualifications being measured by the AEDT as well as the data inputs (features) 
  • Evaluate job-relatedness (Validation) evidence of the AEDT considering professional and legal guidelines 
  • Comprehensively evaluate race, ethnicity, and gender adverse impact 
  • Research potential alternative assessment processes to be provided if requested by job candidates
