Committee reenacts emergency public-health leave for large employers to cover COVID-19 period
Summary
The Rules Committee reenacted an emergency ordinance to temporarily require private employers with 500 or more employees to provide public-health emergency leave during the COVID-19 emergency and forwarded the matter as a committee report to the full board.
The Rules Committee voted to reenact an emergency ordinance that temporarily requires private employers with 500 or more employees to provide public-health emergency leave during the COVID-19 emergency.
Supervisor Gordon Marr described the proposal as a second reenactment intended to keep the benefit in place for more than 200,000 San Francisco workers for an additional 60 days and introduced a clarifying amendment to make the reenactment retroactive to avoid coverage gaps. "This emergency ordinance is the second reenactment of public health emergency leave to keep this crucial benefit in place for over 200,000 San Francisco workers for an additional 60 days," Marr said.
The committee opened the item for public comment, heard a caller who urged broader pandemic leave language, and then voted to recommend the reenactment as a committee report to the Board of Supervisors.
The ordinance will return to the full board as a committee report for final action.
