San Francisco's Formula Retail Employee Rights Ordinances (Police Code Art. 33G/33H, Ord. 270-14) require chain retailers and food-service formula businesses to post schedules 14 days in advance and pay predictability premiums for changes.
Ordinance 270-14, codified at Police Code Articles 33G and 33H, applies to formula retail establishments with 40 or more locations worldwide and 20+ employees in San Francisco, including chain restaurants. Employers must post written schedules at least 14 days in advance, pay 1-4 hours of predictability pay for last-minute changes, offer additional hours to existing part-time staff before hiring, and provide equal treatment to part-time workers in wages and access to time off. On-call shifts that are cancelled within 24 hours trigger half-shift premium pay. OLSE investigates complaints and may impose civil penalties plus back wages.
Late schedule posting, unpaid predictability premiums, or hiring new staff before offering hours to existing part-timers exposes formula retailers to OLSE penalties and back-pay liability.
