On April 21, 2021, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance waiving the annual reporting requirement for calendar year 2020 related to the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance (HCSO). This supersedes the previous guidance issued by the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement on March 24, 2021, which postponed the reporting for at least six months.
As background, employers with 20 or more employees must meet a minimum healthcare spending requirement on employees working at least eight hours in the city or county of San Francisco. Normally, an employer must file a report detailing their compliance by April 30 for the previous calendar year. However, the annual report has now been waived for calendar years 2019 and 2020 due to COVID-19 and the administrative burden the report places on employers. Employers should continue to comply with the spending requirement and maintain documentation.
