23-181 Employee Handbook City and County of San Francisco

Be advised that the City and County of San Francisco Employee Handbook is available on the SFDHR website and in PowerDMS.

All Department members, sworn and non-sworn, are City employees, and are therefore responsible for adhering to the guidelines within the City Employee Handbook. The Employee Handbook provides you with vital information about your health care and retirement benefits, salary administration, pay periods, holidays, and how the civil service system is administered. It also describes the City's commitment to diversity, policies on workplace conduct, appearance, and dress code; attendance and punctuality rules, smoke-free and drug-free workplace status, leave of absence, policy prohibiting harassment, use of sick leave, work schedules, safety on the job, and your obligations as a City employee. Please read the Employee Handbook carefully, as failure to adhere to these policies could result in discipline. 

Also be advised that the Employee Handbook does not replace or amend Department General Orders. All Department members, sworn and non-sworn, are still responsible for following all current Department General Orders and Department Notices, which are more specific to San Francisco Police Department policies and procedures.
