San Francisco Paid Sick Leave Ordinance

February 6, 2007

The City of San Francisco has a new Paid Sick Leave Ordinance, effective February 5, 2007, which requires that all employers provide paid sick leave to each employee who performs work in San Francisco. For every 30 hours worked, an employee accrues one hour of paid sick leave. This Ordinance, which was passed by the voters in a ballot proposition in November, has been well publicized amongst employers. However, because the one hour for every 30 proposition seems fairly simple and straightforward, we are finding that employers are making the mistaken assumption that their current policies are in full compliance with the new law when this may not be the case.
