Healthy Airport Ordinance

Employers at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) must either:

• Provide employees covered by SFO’s Quality Standards Program with family health insurance that meets the compliance requirements at no cost to the employee, or
• Effective July 1, 2024: Pay $10.95 per hour (up to $438 per week) on behalf of the employee to the City Option Program. 

Employers may choose which option they use to comply. For more details on these 2 options, review the Healthy Airport Ordinance FAQ.
