The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection's Office of Labor Policy & Standards (OLPS) protects workers and enforces local labor laws that help ensure a fair workplace for all persons working in the City, and to ensure they can realize their rights.

This dataset provides a list of all worker complaints under the Fair Workwek and Paid Safe and Sick Leave laws that, after preliminary investigation, were taken up by OLPS attorneys as an enforcement matter.

This dataset was compiled from a financial security study conducted in 2013 by Department of Consumer and Worker Protection's Office of Financial Empowerment, in partnership with The Urban Institute. The dataset is published on the DCWP website and used for a web-based data visualization tool. More information about the data, the study, and the online web-application can be found on the DCWP website:
