The 2025 Employer Annual Reporting Form, available on April 1, 2026, and must be submitted to the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (OLSE) by May 1, 2026. Employers that miss the deadline may face penalties of $500 per quarter.

The annual report gives OLSE a snapshot of employer compliance with both ordinances. For employers subject to the FCO, the reporting covers hiring-related information, including background check practices and certain hiring data. For employers covered by the HCSO, the report includes workforce and health care spending information for covered employees working in San Francisco.
Covered employers should review the reporting requirements in advance and be ready to file once the form is released. Additional information is available from OLSE’s annual reporting materials, the Fair Chance Ordinance page, and the Health Care Security Ordinance page.
