Any employer with 20 or more employees qualifies for the San Francisco Paid Parental Leave Ordinance (SF PPLO). If the employer qualifies, SF PPLO applies to employees who live or work in SF and receive CA Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits from the state.
What is SF PPLO?
SF PPLO stipulates that employees who receive CA PFL benefits to bond with a new child are entitled to up to 8 weeks of supplemental compensation from their employer. During the leave period, employers are required to provide supplemental compensation in an amount such that the California Paid Family Leave wage replacement plus the supplemental compensation equals 100% of the employee’s gross weekly wage, subject to a cap. The 2023 PPLO Cap is $2,700 per week.

How does it impact employer policies?
In the event your policy does not offer 8 weeks of bonding time with 100% of pay, Cocoon will ensure your SF employees see the time and pay they are entitled to. We show your employee your company policy layered with local, state and national entitlements.
