Beginning January 1, 2017, San Francisco employers of 50 or more must begin providing a “Supplemental Contribution” alongside California’s Paid Family Leave program. The current California Paid Family Leave program, which is worker-funded, provides employees up to 55% of their regular wages for 6 weeks, with a maximum cap of $1,129 per week.
San Francisco’s new bill requires employers to pay the employee up to the remaining 45% of their wages during the 6 week leave, equaling 100% of the employee’s gross weekly wage, when combined with the statewide benefit. The Supplemental Contribution will be proportionately capped by reference to the state maximum weekly benefit. In passing this legislation, San Francisco has become the first city in the United States to require fully paid parental leave.
