San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance (HCSO)

Updated November 13, 2019 -- For Administrators

Employers with 20 or more employees (and non-profit employers with 50 or more employees) must spend a minimum amount set by law on health care for each employee who works eight or more hours per week in San Francisco. All covered employers must meet the obligations listed on the HCSO page.

Employers are able to gather this data on their own to determine if they met the minimum required health care expenditure for each covered employee on a quarterly basis by using reports available in Zenefits.
