Good morning. The Grocery Outlet operations owner is available for questions. Were excited to be here before you for the public convenience and necessity request for type21 license for a new Grocery Outlet in the bay view, which has been a food desert since the closure of the smart and final in the same location early 2019. The Grocery Outlet will occupy the site of the former smart and final, which itself had a type21 license. Allowing Grocery Outlet to have a type21 license would be in line with what the residents in the neighborhood got used to with the smart and final. Due to the transfer of the alcohol license after 90 days smart and final closure, there must be convenience and necessity. The Grocery Outlet seeks type 21 license to complement its offerings to be a fullservice Grocery Store reducing the need for residents to drive distances to maintain basic daily necessities while being able to obtain alcoholic beverages. In a time when shopping has become a high risk activity and going to the market requires individual to say armour up and protect themselves from covid19, which im hearing requires now two masks, reducing the number of places residents need to patronize, would be a good outcome. The Grocery Outlet will have security measures in place as mentioned by the police officer. And support of the department. And as mentioned, no opposition to the project has been received today.

Mr. Chair. Supervisor mar thank you, mr. Clerk. Colleagues, the back to work ordinance is an ordinance that would codify policies in effect and through last july through the emergency ordinance reenacted by the board of supervisors and reenacted three times. Simply, this ordinance ask that larger employers rehire rather than replace their laidoff workers. We know workers who lose jobs involuntary have worse Health Outcomes and reduced life expectancy. Prolonged unemployment can suppress wages and earning potential. This impacts workers of color, the right to reemployment offer helps thousands of workers as it does codified in collective bargaining agreements across the country. And now in effect for nonunion employees of larger employers in San Francisco through our emergency ordinance. Laidoff workers have the right of first refusal for their jobs if or when their former employer reopens and rehires. Hiring is prioritized by seniority for each job classification. If a former employees position is not retired, they will be offered any other similar position they are qualified for. It requires employers to provide notice to the city of layoffs, maintain records of laidoff workers and provide information on city resources. It covers employers with 100 or more employees who lay often or more eligible workers within a 30 day period. Eligible employees are laid off 90 days or longer because of the Public Health emergency. All Small Businesses and healthcare operation employers are exempt, as are independent contractors, employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and employees with severance agreements or committed misconduct discovered after layoff. Based on feedback for the emergency version of the ordinance, we made a series of amendments. Many amendments were based on feedback from the Small Business commission and chamber of commerce. The prior amendments that weve made include exempting employers with fewer than 100 employees, exempting Healthcare Operations employers, removing the 90day retention requirement. Adding an employee misconduct carve out for the reemployment offer, carving out employees with severance agreements, removing all of the employ option requirements, the biggest administrative burdens. Offering employment notification by email before mailing. Requires mailing only if email and text is not an option. And streamlines the process. We authorized olcs to issue regulations and do rule making. And finally, we directed layoff and reemployment notifications to oawd and replaces the hotline included in the employee notification with one already managed by oawd. Now, since then, weve made some additional changes for this, the regular version of the ordinance. We updated the employee definition. The definition in the regular ordinance is based on the term used in state labor code. Wage orders, and regulations. Which in turn is also used in the citys minimum wage ordinance, the Healthcare Security ordinance, and the paid sick leave ordinance. Under the emergency ordinance as well as the regular ordinance, if enacted, if an employer is an employer under San Francisco minimum wage law, they are covered. Those apply to employers 100 or more employees regardless was location. In short, theres no intended substantive difference between the definitions. We simply changed the wording to be consistent with the wording of the definition in many labor laws in San Francisco. And then, we also updated the rule making. Theyre receiving the notices in managing the hot line. So it made sense to also shift rule making responsibilities and abilities from olsc to the office of economic and work force development. You know, were going to have a presentation today from oawd on the implementation of the right to reemployment emergency ordinance. Are you here . Yes, supervisor. Supervisor mar great. Thank you. The floor is yours. Thank you, chair mar, supervisors haney and stefani and the office of economic and work force development. Im joined by our strategic initial director and Business Services director. And were going to share information about the activities with the back to work ordinance, the right to reemployment ordinance as its also referred to in the text. Were going share some of the outcomes. And some of the Lessons Learned and some of the feedback and experience with the ordinance to date. Again, thank you for inviteing us to presented to. Im going to go ahead and share the screen with some information here to help guide the conversation. I think weve got screen share take two. Maybe not. Lets see here. Im going to do it this way. Looks like i can share here we go. Take three, four, five. Im going to go ahead and share an overview of notices received to date. And this is information as chair mar shared, this is a process whereby as we said when the ordinance was first proposed, were here to make stuff work. And so in our instance, we levered the San Francisco hotline, which since the first shelter in place order in march of 2020, received more than 12,000 calls. To date with our staff with oawd and Human Services agency staff and Community Partners to help assist with translation in up to seven languages. And of course through our Business Services unit, we received more notices of layoffs for the larger employers and larger layoff events and right to reemployment back to work ordinance, respect to smaller employers though, theres exemptions for Small Businesses. That work is done with the partnership of the first source hiring team. So the data that we have to date again, thanks to our team for sharing and enabling us to present this data to the board and committee, the layoff notices weve received through right to reemployment, as of july 3rd, 2020, up to january 27th, 2021, weve received as of yesterday, 124 such notices. And thats affecting a total of 9,901 employees, as you see. Subsequent to that, weve received with respect to those 124 notices, 45 notices of rehire in the same time frame. That would be with respect to 3,489 employees that have been laid off. Then, of those 3,489, 1,562 is the number that were offered reemployment under the provisions of the ordinance. 991 of whom said yes. And 637 of whom declined. One item i know that chair mar requested of us is to get a kind of comparison with respect to more notices. That will be on the next slide. This gives you a little bit of the demonstration of the monthbymonth activity. You see the peak in terms of receiving the right to reemployment notices here was september 2020. And then, around that same time frame, August September is the peak in receiving the layoff notices. This total is the layoff and rehire notices. The peak for rehire was september. And certainly, less within the months that followed. Again, thats january data through the 27th, which was yesterday. Last slide before turning it back to chair mar, after providing observations and experiences with the policy, weve got a summary of the notices seen within the same time. Those are the larger employers, larger layoff events required under federal law, as well as the state act. 95 notices affecting 5,419. Heres the activity. You see the peak in terms of us receiving more notices in that same time frame. In other words, you see a degree of the pacing of more notices filed with our Office Around the same kind of curve as it were with respect to right to reemployment notices as well. The item i think important to say as we have a degree of knowledge where theres overlap. And where theres separation, there is some degree, not substantial, but some employers that are doing both. And other employers as per the intent of the ordinance that are smaller layoff event that wouldnt be worn required filing this notice with us. Ill turn it over to you chair mar, after making a couple of observations. We look through the first slide. Its important data. Its a good thing to know 991 individuals were offered the ability and the right to return to the work that they had before they were laid off. We dont get the data to know whether or not they would have been offered in the absence of the ordinance. We have data we wouldnt have otherwise had. We have staff that spends time putting the policy to work as part of the work assignment. With respect to implementation of the policy, were able to do that. We do know we have heard from some businesses and policy makers have as well, some businesses have spoken to the administrative work involved. We of course got the letter of opposition from the Small Business commission, who unanimously voted not to support the policy but with respect to our office, were providing the information. Were able to do that and share that with you today. I would like to pause and turn it back to you, chair mar, for questions from you and the committee. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you so much for the presentation. And for all of the work you of you and your team implementing this really important workers rights and emergency ordinance. I did have a question just from the data that you presented on that. Theres a discrepancy in well, actually, just to note, there are looks like theres 10,000 workers that are covered by the right to reemployment notices that employers have filed with the city. So thats good to see such a large number of workers covered. But then, for the workers that were covered by the right to rehire or the rehire notices, there was a discrepancy, quite a bit, in the number of workers that were covered compared to the number of workers that actually received an offer of reemployment. Yeah. Supervisor mar looks like, yeah, im referring to the under the right to reemployment rehire notices. The number of employees who have been laid off and rehired. Youre showing 3,489. Then the number of employees offered reemployment, 1,652. I was wondering if you have thoughts about what that
