The Board of Supervisors has created a “Wage Theft Task Force” which will be charged with making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors about how the City can best address wage theft. The task force will have 15 voting members, including three seats for people “representing responsible businesses or employers in San Francisco in an industry where wage theft is prevalent.” The term of the task force members will be one year.

The Board of Supervisors will be selecting the members of the Task Force at a Rules Committee hearing on September 6. Applications are due by close of business on August 26. For an application and more information go to www.sfbos.org/index.aspx?page=13256.

Please share this information with your networks and encourage interested business persons to apply to this task force. The feedback of the business community will be vital on this task force.
