California’s SB 553 Is Now Law: Are You Ready or at Risk?

On July 1, 2024, California Senate Bill 553 officially went into effect—quietly
transforming the legal responsibilities of every business in the state.
The law requires every employer to have a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
(WVPP) — and it must be written, active, and enforced. A vague or outdated plan
doesn’t cut it anymore. Regulators are cracking down.
Fines are already happening in 2025.
Non-compliance is not a risk — it’s a reality. Here’s what you’re facing:
● $16,131 per violation for serious infractions
● Up to $161,323 per violation for willful or repeated offenses
● And yes, these fines are per incident.
It doesn’t stop there. If a preventable workplace violence incident occurs and you aren’t
in full compliance, your business could also face lawsuits, civil liability, and
reputational damage.
Don’t wait until you’re the example. The time to act is now.
But Here’s the Good News…
Staying compliant doesn’t have to be complex or expensive.
Affordable. Effective. Meet The Plan.

● A compliant prevention policy tailored to your business
● Employee training and learning management
