Statutory Authority |

In 2006, San Francisco voters passed the Paid Sick Leave Ordinance (PSLO), becoming the first city in the United States to pass a paid sick leave law. The law took effect on February 5th, 2007. In 2016, San Francisco voters passed amendments to the PSLO to include worker protections that largely parallel California's Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014.
