What is SB 553?Senate Bill No. 553 (SB 553) is a significant legislative measure introduced in California in September 2023, slated to take effect on July 1, 2024. This bill addresses the rising incidents of workplace violence, which pose substantial risks to workers' safety and well-being. While SB 553 is not introducing an entirely new concept, it aims to expand existing protections beyond healthcare workers, who have already been safeguarded against workplace violence in California. The primary objective of SB 553 is to mandate that most employers across the state implement comprehensive workplace violence prevention plans, thereby enhancing the overall security and welfare of employees in various sectors.
-
Who is affected by SB 553?SB 553 predominantly impacts all employers with a workforce exceeding 10 employees. However, there are notable exceptions to consider: Small Employers: Businesses with fewer than 10 employees that are not open to the public. Remote Employees: Individuals who telework and are not under the direct supervision of the employer. Healthcare Facilities: Employers operating healthcare facilities. Public Entities: Certain public entity employers are also exempt from these regulations. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for ensuring compliance and recognizing the specific obligations and exemptions relevant to your business.
