EU AI Act and US hiring law · The Toolkit
When the board, a client, or an auditor asks, you open the folder and the answer is there.
Five editable Word and Excel files, plus a Start Here guide and a worked example filled in throughout, mapped to the EU AI Act and US hiring law, including New York City’s Local Law 144. Fill them in once and your team has the record: which tools you use, what they do, who oversees them, and which obligation each answer satisfies.
Secure checkout via Stripe. If a file will not open on our end, is materially not as described, or you were charged in error, we repair, replace, or refund within 14 days. Refund policy. Licensed for single-organisation use, not for resale or redistribution (Terms).
What is inside
Five working templates. One toolkit.
Every file opens in Word or Excel, carries the Signato wordmark and seal, and ships with the regime mapping pre-loaded, the EU AI Act and US law side by side, so your team knows exactly which obligation each field satisfies. The formats are editable, not read-only PDF.
AI Hiring Impact Assessment
Six fillable sections structured around the Article 27 elements: the process, period and frequency, categories of affected people, specific risks, oversight measures, and the remediation path if risk materialises. Article 27 strictly binds public bodies, public-service providers, and certain credit and insurance uses; for other employers it is best practice, not a hard requirement, and the template says so. It carries the same record across regimes and notes plainly that it does not replace the independent bias audit New York City’s Local Law 144 requires.
Art. 27 + US .docx, editableAI Hiring Tool Model Card
The system documentation your vendor should supply and your deployer team must hold: intended purpose, training data scope, known limitations, bias testing, and human oversight procedures, with an applicable-regime field so the same record serves the EU AI Act and US rules. What Articles 11 to 15 require to exist in writing.
Arts. 11 to 15 .docx, editableVendor Due-Diligence Questionnaire
Eleven questions covering Articles 10, 13, 14, 15, 25, 43, 47, and 49, with EU and US answer examples and a status column. Send it to your vendor, archive the response, and the conversation is on the record before the next contract renewal.
Arts. 10, 13, 14, 15, 25, 43, 47, 49 .docx, editableAI Risk Register
A live tracker with one row per AI system: regime mapping across the EU Annex III and US law, residual risk level, named owner, and the next action due. Status validation built in with green, amber, and red indicators so your risk picture stays current, not frozen.
EU Annex III + US law .xlsx, editableEvidence Log
Fifteen obligations pre-loaded, the EU AI Act articles plus the New York City Local Law 144 duties: each row names the obligation, the evidence file reference, the current status, the next action, and the deadline. When a regulator, an auditor, or a candidate asks how a decision was made, you have a spreadsheet that shows your work, not a memory of good intentions.
EU + US, cross-referenced .xlsx, editableWhy it is worth it
Not a generic template. A working document mapped to the law.
The honest argument: in compliance, the cost of getting it wrong is a fine, a finding, or a candidate complaint. What you are paying for is curation that has already been done against the primary text, article by article, and that gets updated when the rule moves.
A language model can produce something that looks like a template in seconds. It will not know which Article 27 element maps to which field, or flag that parts of the high-risk timeline are in flux: the dates floated in the Commission's Digital Omnibus package are provisional, pending publication in the Official Journal, and not yet law. Verified curation has a cost; so does the fine for a document that does not hold up.
Mapped to the source text
Every field cites the article it satisfies. You know what it is for, not just what to type.
Updated when the rule moves
The Act is still being interpreted. The templates reflect the current Act; when a material change lands, our free newsletter tells you what to update.
Sized for a real team
Not a consultancy's 80-page deliverable. Five files your HR or legal lead can open, fill in, and keep current without a project.
One price, no subscription required
US$ 99 one-time. You own the files. Our free newsletter keeps you on the current version of the rules.
Straight from the Act
The obligation is specific. So is the template.
“Prior to deploying a high-risk AI system referred to in Article 6(2)… deployers that are bodies governed by public law, or are private entities providing public services… shall perform an assessment of the impact on fundamental rights that the use of such system may produce.”
Article 27(1), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The FRIA template in the toolkit is structured around this article. Read it on EUR-Lex
The EU sets the documentation bar, but the clock is not only European: New York City’s Local Law 144 has required bias audits and candidate notices since July 2023, and Illinois brings AI in hiring under its Human Rights Act from January 1, 2026. Different statutes, same question: can you show how the tool is governed?

Educational support material, not legal advice. This toolkit is intended to help teams organise their compliance documentation and understand their obligations under the EU AI Act and US rules like New York City’s Local Law 144. Signato is not a law firm and does not certify compliance. Nothing in this product constitutes legal advice or creates a lawyer-client relationship. For decisions with legal consequences, consult a qualified lawyer. References throughout are to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) and to the US measures the toolkit maps, including New York City’s Local Law 144. Confirm any operative date at the primary source before you rely on it, as implementing timelines are subject to amendment.
