NYAE is pleased to present “Freelance Isn’t Free,” an online Zoom seminar made possible through partnership with The NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP.) The seminar will be lead by Michelle Veliz.
The NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)—formerly the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA)—protects and enhances the daily economic lives of New Yorkers to create thriving communities. DCA licenses more than 59,000 businesses in more than 50 industries and enforces key consumer protection, licensing, and workplace laws that apply to countless more. Through its community outreach and the work of the Office Labor Policy & Standards, DCWP gives workers a dedicated voice in city government to the issues they are facing. OLPS enforces key municipal workplace laws such as the city’s paid safe and sick leave, the fair workweek law and Freelancer Isn’t Free Act.
