San Francisco County Municipal Code Art. 105 Hours and Days of Labor

For the purpose of meeting prevailing conditions and enabling employers to secure a sufficient number of satisfactory workers and artisans, no person performing labor or rendering service in the performance of any contract or subcontract for any Covered Project as defined in Article 101 shall perform labor for a longer period than five days (Monday through Friday) of eight hours each, with two 10-minute breaks per eight-hour day, except in those crafts in which a different work day or week now prevails by agreement in private employment. Any person working hours in addition to the above shall be compensated in accordance with the prevailing overtime standards and rates. (Added by Ord. 296-24, File No. 240985, App. 12/19/2024, Eff. 1/19/2025, Oper. 2/19/2025)

Any Contractor or Subcontractor who violates any provision of this Article 105 shall be liable for the same penalties and forfeits as those specified in Article 106; penalties and forfeits shall be applicable for each laborer, mechanic, or artisan employed for each calendar day or portion thereof whereon such laborer, mechanic, or artisan is compelled or permitted to work more than the days and hours specified herein. The provisions of this Article 105 shall be made a part of all contracts and subcontracts for any Covered Project. (Added by Ord. 296-24, File No. 240985, App. 12/19/2024, Eff. 1/19/2025, Oper. 2/19/2025)

In the event that any Covered Project is to be constructed outside of the City and at such a distance therefrom that those engaged in performing labor on the Covered Project must under ordinary conditions remain at or near the site of the Covered Project when not actually engaged in the performance of labor thereon, then the officer, board, or commission responsible for the construction of the Covered Project may, in making specifications or letting contracts therefor, make provision therein for days and hours of labor beyond the limitations provided for in Article 105; but not to exceed eight hours in any calendar day, or six days in any calendar week. In the event that emergency conditions arise, making a change advisable during the performance of any such contract, or any portion thereof, the hours and days of labor may be extended beyond the limits hereinabove expressed; but not to exceed eight hours per day, upon the written authority of the officer, board, or commission awarding such contract. Failure of the Contractor to perform such contract within the time provided shall not constitute an emergency. (Added by Ord. 296-24, File No. 240985, App. 12/19/2024, Eff. 1/19/2025, Oper. 2/19/2025)
