SAN FRANCISCO—City officials have ordered that the San Francisco Roman Catholic Archdiocese must pay $3 million in health care costs to its workers after city officials found the archdiocese violated a local health care ordinance for more than 1,000 of its workers.
San Francisco has also given $113,000 in penalties to the archdiocese.
“It’s important for us to ensure that workers are made whole,” said Pat Mulligan, director of San Francisco’s Office of Labor Standards Enforcement.
The violated law is called the Health Care Security Act, and requires businesses with more than 20 San Francisco employees who work more than eight hours a week to pay into a health care plan or a savings account for those employees.
A city audit of the archdiocese records show that from October 2009 to June 2016, they did not pay into those required funds for the majority of its 1,722 employees who are covered by the law.
