New York City Comptroller Brad Lander has announced the 2025 updates to his Office’s Employer Violations Dashboard and revealed this year’s “Employer Wall of Shame,” a list of companies cited for egregious violations in ten categories including wrongful termination, prevailing wage violations, wage theft, and willful violations of workplace safety laws. Launched on Labor Day in 2024, the Comptroller’s Employer Violations Dashboard is the first-ever citywide transparency and accountability tool to track and analyze workplace violations data across federal, state, and city government enforcement agencies.
Developed by the Comptroller’s Workers’ Rights team, the Dashboard provides an accessible resource for data on violations of worker protection laws, and most notably, highlights employers with the most frequent and severe violations. In the first year, the tool became a resource for unions and workers’ rights organizations in their organizing and campaigns, and for City procurement officers to properly vet potential contractors. Since its launch, the Comptroller’s Workers’ Rights’ team has conducted multiple training sessions for unions, advocacy groups, and elected officials on how to use the Dashboard.
