San Francisco Paid Sick Leave Ordinance
The paid sick leave law applies to all full-time, part-time, and temporary employees working in San Francisco County.

Employers with ten or more employees are allowed to offer nine or more earned sick days a year, while smaller businesses must offer five or more.
Cry Wolf Quotes
Proposition F is another job-killing attack on San Francisco's economic engine that will raise prices for all who shop in the City.
Where we are headed for, you are not going to see those cool, little local restaurants. You are going to see a bunch of corporate restaurants, and the rest of the city is going to look like the restaurant dynamic on Fisherman’s Wharf.
The simple fact is that if business owners cannot make a reasonable return on their investments, they will either relocate to another county or close their doors, resulting in fewer jobs and less revenue for the City coffers from business, payroll, and sales taxes to fund the social programs the Supervisors so greatly value.
We want to take the message to the public and the San Francisco residents to let them know how close to the tipping point the restaurant industry is.
