KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: The Freelance Isn’t Free Act (NYC)
📍 Presented by Akshita Singal, Esq. Singal Law Firm PLLC
🕒 40 minutes · 15 min presentation · 15 min hands-on · Q&A
💼 Since NYC’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act (FIFA) took effect, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) has handled 4,300+ complaints and helped freelancers recover over $3.47 million in unpaid wages.
⚖️ DCWP Commissioner Vilda Vera Mayuga recently announced a $45,000 settlement with BuzzFeed Media Enterprises for failing to pay freelancers on time — a reminder that enforcement is real.
🎯 Join attorney Akshita Singal for a clear, engaging session covering:
✅ Your rights under FIFA
✅ A walkthrough of NYC’s model freelance contract
✅ Common pitfalls and Open Q&A
✨ Empower yourself. Protect your work. Get paid!
