San Francisco Compliance Reminder: SF Paid Sick Leave Ordinance

Panko Compliance · July 10, 2026
San Francisco was the first U.S. city to mandate paid sick leave (2007). The Paid Sick Leave Ordinance covers every employee in San Francisco — regardless of full-time/part-time/temp status, immigration status, or how long they've worked. It also has the broadest family-member definition in the country: 'designated person' can be anyone the employee selects annually. Penalties: Failure to provide accrued sick leave: 3× the amount owed + administrative penalty. Full compliance guide: alerts.getpanko.app/compliance/sf/paid-sick-leave
