San Francisco Formula Retail Employee Rights Ordinance

Some San Francisco workers receive protections relating to shift scheduling and shift predictability, increased opportunities to transition from part-time to full-time work, and have rights in the event the business is sold. These protections are set out in two ordinances,“Hours and Retention Protections for Formula Retail Employees ” and “Predictable Scheduling and Fair Treatment for Formula Retail Employees,” which the city collectively refers to as the “Formula Retail Employee Rights Ordinance” (ordinance).¹
