For Workers
San Francisco fights for its workers.
Our residents and lawmakers have adopted some of the strongest labor laws in the United States. The San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement will work with you to ensure that your rights are met.
- It does not matter where you were born or if you have papers to work
- It does not matter if you were paid in cash
- We will never ask you about your immigration status
If you (1) work in San Francisco or (2) work for a business with a contract or lease with the City of San Francisco, our labor laws apply to you. Know your rights.
Since 2010, the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement has helped workers recover over $38 million in wages and penalties.
