Prop F Becomes Law – But Workers May Not See Benefit Until June
San Francisco’s Paid Sick Leave Ordinance became law yesterday, but employers probably won’t have to pay it until June 5th. Voters made history last November by passing Proposition F, making San Francisco the first place in the nation where employees have the right to paid sick leave. Under Prop F, employees who have worked for at least 90 days will start accruing one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. An estimated 115,000 workers in San Francisco currently have no paid sick leave at their jobs, forcing them to choose between showing up to work sick and paying their rent. In the restaurant industry, 74% of employees have no paid sick leave.
