San Francisco County
Do I have a case against my San Francisco employer?
The honest answer
San Francisco workers stand on the strongest stack of protections in the country: California law plus city ordinances on minimum wage, paid sick leave, scheduling for retail chains, and more. So if your gut says the firing, the missing pay, or the treatment was wrong, the law may well agree. The honest way to find out costs nothing — tell us the story, and sit down by video with a California employment attorney who's already read it.
What does work look like in San Francisco?
Tech offices, tourist-floor hotels, hospital systems, and line kitchens share one city — and one habit of paying people less than San Francisco's own rules require.
- San Francisco's minimum wage and paid-sick-leave ordinances exceed state minimums.
- Formula-retail workers have local scheduling rights most have never been told about.
- The city's HCSO requires many employers to spend toward employee healthcare — a frequent quiet violation.
