San Francisco Minimum Wage Posting Requirements
Section 12R.5 of the San Francisco Minimum Wage Ordinance requires every employer to display the posting in a conspicuous place at all workplaces and job sites in English, Spanish, Chinese and “any other language spoken by at least five percent of the Employees at the workplace or job site.”
The San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement goes one step further, requiring employers to display the posting on 8.5”x14” paper.

GovDocs City Posting Coverage
San Francisco is just one of more than 40 cities in the U.S. that issues postings required or recommended for employers. Thanks to the nationwide trend of tying minimum wage rates to cost-of-living adjustments (like San Francisco in 2019), more and more workplace postings require frequent replacement.
For large employers (businesses with 50 or more locations), GovDocs suggests using an automatic compliance program to ensure uninterrupted posting coverage for all your employees. Request a consultation with GovDocs today to learn more.
