An amendment to the San Francisco Paid Parental Leave Ordinance, effective October 15, 2016, modifies the employee eligibility requirements for paid parental leave.
California Paid Family Leave (PFL) provides benefits to individuals who need to take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner, or to bond with a new child or a child in connection with adoption or foster care placement.
The San Francisco Paid Parental Leave Ordinance, effective January 1, 2017, requires San Francisco employers with 50 or more employees to provide partial wage replacement (supplemental compensation) to employees who take leave to bond with a new child under the California PFL program.
