Unlike for-profit work agencies that charge workers and employers, there are NO FEES for employers or workers for using our services.

Workers hired through the center commit to working ethically, and are trained on occupational health and safety to avoid injury.

The center is a safe meeting place for day laborers/job seekers and prospective employers.

Members of our Worker Center agree to follow community guidelines, which include agreements against the use of drugs/ alcohol and prohibiting violence and discrimination.

Workers are organized according to their skills and experience to provide the best match to employers.

You can hire a worker in one of four ways:

Our services are FREE, however payment to workers is determined by workers with our input and assistance to ensure a dignified wage. Workers collectively develop a salary scale according to industry, experience, and other factors.

Workers keep 100% of their pay. NICE does not take a commission or receive any money from workers.

You can either pick up workers at the NICE Community Jobs Center (in Jackson Heights, Queens) or

you can coordinate for them to arrive at the work site on their own.

The NICE Worker Center hosts workers of all trades and experiences. Besides construction and manual labor, our workers can help with moving services, cleaning, handiwork, painting, landscaping, among other work.

Workers are hired for a minimum of five hours, which is considered a half day.

Workers are also available to work full day (8 hours), a week, a month or permanently.

Workers choose to be hired through the NICE Community Jobs Center because they seek safe and dignified work where they can put their skills to good use.

The Center is a collaborative effort that offers workers a better chance accessing jobs while being treated with dignity and respect.
