San Francisco Day Labor Program 

Hire one of our members!

If you are interested in hiring someone from the SF Day Labor Program for general labor, please read the following information and complete the form below.

Our members provide high-quality services for general labor (i.e., construction, moving, gardening, or painting) or skilled labor (i.e., tiling, electrical, plumbing). Our rates include: 

• General Labor: $25-30 per hour (3 hour minimum) 
• Skilled Labor: $30-40 per hour (3 hour minimum) 
• Estimates available for complex projects 

Payment of the work must be in cash. But on some occasions you can pay each worker by check. If a job is canceled with less than 24 hours notice, you must pay the worker $30 per person. This policy ensures that our staff receive advance notice and are compensated for their time.  

State labor laws require that all workers must receive a 10-minute paid break for every four hours worked and a 30-minute break for every five hours worked (unless the workday is less than 6 hours, in which case the meal period may be waived by mutual consent). 

The collective is part of the employers’ organization “Mano a Mano” which is dedicated to guaranteeing the responsibilities and rights of employers to be a good employer. We add here the link to register and if you wish you can sign the agreement to be a good employer.

Workers and employers must adhere to the CDC’s COVID-19 safety guidance, which includes wearing a face mask and maintaining six feet of physical distancing.
