San Francisco employers will soon be required to comply with an additional Ordinance providing San Francisco-based employees with paid leave during future public health emergencies. In the June 7, 2022 election, San Francisco voters passed Proposition G. It requires employers with 100 or more employees worldwide to provide up to 80 hours of paid public health emergency leave to San Francisco-based employees. The Ordinance will become operative on October 1, 2022.
We previously reported on the San Francisco Public Health Emergency Leave Ordinance related to COVID-19 that was passed in April 2020. After that ordinance was renewed several times, San Francisco’s Proposition G now makes a similar form of public health emergency leave a permanent requirement for San Francisco employers.

Any employer that employs 100 or more employees worldwide, and employs at least 1 person who performs work in San Francisco, is subject to the Ordinance. As discussed below, only those employees who perform work in San Francisco will be eligible to take leave. Although prior similar ordinances applied to employers with 500 or more employees, this Ordinance will apply to many smaller employers.
