San Francisco Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance

Pursuant to the San Francisco Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance (FFWO),

eligible employees, as defined by the FFWO, who have been employed at the university for at least six (6) months and who regularly work or telework eight (8) or more hours per week on a regular basis may request, in writing, a flexible or predictable working arrangement to employees with primary caregiving responsibilities for the following:

• A child or children under the age of 18 for whom the employee has parental responsibility;
• A person or persons with a serious health condition in a family relationship with the employee; or
• A person or persons age 65 or older who is in a family relationship with the employee. “Family relationship” is defined as a relationship in which a caregiver is related by blood, legal custody, marriage, or domestic partnership to another person as a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent.

To initiate a request, please review the process and request form, then submit the completed form to leaves@usfca.edu.

Your request for a flexible or predictable working arrangement will be reviewed and responded to in writing within 21 days of receiving the original request (unless the parties agree in writing to extend it). As part of this request, you agree to participate in a good-faith interactive process. You may be asked to attest to or verify your caregiving responsibilities.
