Use of AI In Employment

If your Company uses any automated tools such as Upwork or TurboHire in its hiring process, you
should be aware that New York City has established new requirements governing such practices,
which are set forth in the Automated Employment Decision Tool Law (AEDTL).

An automated employment decision tool is a computer-based device that uses machine learning,
statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence to substantially help with employment
decisions.

Employers found to have violated the AEDTL will face civil penalties of up to $500 for a first
violation and each additional violation occurring on the same day. Each subsequent violation will
incur a penalty between $500 and $1,500. Each day the AEDT is used in violation of the law gives
rise to a separate violation, and failure to provide notice is a separate violation.
If your Company uses automatic employment decision tools, and you would like further guidance
regarding the AEDTL, please contact us.
