Paid Sick Leave and Safe Time Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (San Francisco)

Summary

This is a paid sick leave and safe time policy that sets forth employees' entitlement to paid sick leave and safe time in San Francisco under the California Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act and the San Francisco Sick Leave Ordinance. This template contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional and alternate clauses. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. It is intended for private employers. The template's language has been customized to comply with California, San Francisco, and federal law. As a result, it differs from the non-jurisdictional Paid Sick Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment) and the Paid Sick Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment) (CA).
