On Sept. 20, 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 533 into law, requiring covered employer to adopt a comprehensive violence prevention plan and track certain information related to threats or incidents of violence in the workplace by July 1, 2024. Given the broad scope of SB 533’s requirements, we will discuss how an employer who does business in California can develop a comprehensive plan and best practices for implementation. Additionally, we will discuss the interplay of SB 533 with other laws concerning conduct in the workplace, including anti-bullying and anti-harassment laws.
