Lauren Saria is the editor of Eater SF and has been writing about food, drinks, and restaurants for more than a decade. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, several well-known San Francisco restaurants violated a city law requiring some businesses to provide employee health care benefits. The law, which went into effect in 2008, mandates that businesses with more than 20 employees put aside money to be used for workers’ healthcare benefits. They can either pay an hourly rate or contribute to a city-managed fund that reimburses restaurant workers for healthcare expenses.
