2025年5月8日，NACSHR（北美华人人力资源协会 / North American Chinese Society of Human Resources）宣布中英双语加州 SB 553 合规平台正式上线，访问地址为 compliance.nacshr.org/sb553。该平台是目前市场上首个提供中英双语支持的加州 SB 553 合规工具，面向所有在加州经营、需满足 SB 553 合规要求的雇主。
加州 SB 553《工作场所暴力预防法》于 2024 年 7 月 1 日起正式实施并进入执法阶段，适用于几乎所有在加州境内经营的雇主。法律要求雇主必须完成三项合规义务：制定书面工作场所暴力预防计划（WVPP）、建立暴力事件记录台账，以及每年为员工提供培训并保留可核查的完成记录。
违反 SB 553 相关规定，Cal/OSHA 最高可处以 $25,000/次罚款。执法已于 2024 年下半年全面展开，"不知道这条法律"不构成免责理由。
NACSHR 此前开展的市场调研显示，现有主流 SB 553 合规工具均为英文界面，面向拥有专职 HR 部门的中大型企业设计，市场存在明显语言空白。雇员以中文为主要工作语言的企业——无论其所有者背景如何——长期缺乏可直接使用的母语合规工具，实际合规风险敞口因此持续扩大。
$25,000单次违规最高罚款 22中文引导问卷步骤 3首发上线功能模块
产品功能概览
平台首发包含三个功能模块，分别对应 SB 553 三项核心法律要求：
WVPP 智能生成器：22 道中文引导问卷，根据企业实际工作场所情况采集信息，自动生成包含五项法定附录的双语合规 PDF 文件，满足 Cal/OSHA 审查要求。
数字化暴力事件记录台账：结构化事件录入界面，支持一键导出 Cal/OSHA 标准格式，内置脱敏功能，保护员工隐私。
培训记录管理台账：追踪所有员工的培训完成状态，培训完成后自动生成结业证书，保存可供审计的历年培训档案。
三个模块均支持中英文一键切换，界面全程引用具体法律条文，帮助雇主直接了解每项要求的法律依据，无需阅读英文原始法规。
「SB 553 的合规门槛不在于法律复杂度，而在于信息可及性。语言障碍让大量雇主无法有效获取合规资源——这是一个工具问题，也是一个公平问题。」
— NACSHR 合规平台团队
市场背景：合规工具的语言缺口
NACSHR 对主要竞品开展竞争分析后确认，在本平台上线之前，市场上包括 CalChamber、EasyLlama、Ethena、Traliant 在内的所有主流 SB 553 合规工具均不提供中文支持，且均面向拥有专职 HR 团队的中大型企业。
这一空白的现实影响不仅限于某一特定群体。中文为主要工作语言的雇主，无论规模大小，均面临英文工具使用门槛过高的困境，导致合规工作难以有效落地。随着 Cal/OSHA 执法力度的持续加强，语言障碍直接转化为可量化的法律与财务风险。
定价方案
Basic 基础版，$399/地点/年：包含 WVPP 智能生成器、暴力事件记录台账及培训记录管理三项核心功能，满足 SB 553 全部法定要求。
Standard 标准版，$599/地点/年：在基础版功能之上，增加高级数据导出及多用户协作权限，适合有多名管理人员参与合规工作的企业。
Pro 专业版，$999/地点/年：在标准版功能之上，提供优先客服支持与合规截止日期自动追踪提醒功能。
额外地点，$149/地点/年：适用于同一订阅下需覆盖多个经营地点的企业，按地点数量叠加计算。
律师审核加购，$349/次：由持牌劳工律师对企业 WVPP 文件出具正式书面审核意见，适合需要法律背书的场合。
员工培训服务通过 NACSHR 单独运营的季度法律培训班提供，由持牌劳工律师主讲，中英双语，支持三种参与形式（企业包场、公开场次及录播回看）。

Labor Law Compliance
How to Strategically Plan a Budget for HR in 2024The article discusses strategies for planning an HR budget for 2024, emphasizing the need for advanced HR technology and digital tools to enhance employee experience. It highlights the importance of focusing on talent retention due to high attrition rates in Asia and adapting to changes in the workforce market. The article stresses compliance with labor law changes and the need for a data-driven approach to budgeting. It outlines key budget components, including recruitment, training, salaries, HR technology, and employee well-being, to ensure a comprehensive plan for organizational growth and success.
As companies brace themselves for 2024, many HR teams are busy preparing comprehensive budgets for the coming year. Fortunately, with a host of cutting-edge HR technology and digital tools available, companies can plan a budget with more resources at their fingertips to better plan for the year ahead, significantly enhancing the overall employee experience.
In terms of a direction for 2024, companies are encouraged to channel more efforts towards talent retention, given the high attrition rates across Asia. In an effort to further empower their workforce and improve organisational culture, having the right HR tech is also a crucial consideration.
On that note, let’s look at how to create your 2024 HR budget and what to include in it.
What’s Most Important in Your 2024 Budget Plan
Keeping up with recent advancements for your workforce:
Understand how the talent market in 2023 will differ from 2024’s and plan for your manpower accordingly.
Consider if there has been a new shift towards or an increased use of AI tools to enhance both employee experience and candidate experience. According to analytics and advisory company Gallup, higher employee engagement translates to increased profitability – 23% more, according to their research.
Compare the workforce flexibility levels in your company with that of the overall job market – bearing in mind that there is a greater inclination towards a more flexible workforce, in terms of temporary and contract vs. permanent staffing.
Consider any increase in costs due to inflation, as salary (and potentially benefit) increments will have to be made accordingly.
A greater focus on talent retention:
To be able to maintain a robust and healthy workforce means to prioritise talent retention. With high employee attrition rates and talent retention being a top HR challenge in 2023, a key focus for businesses should be on how to retain their workforce better in 2024.
After conducting a thorough review internally, consider looking into programmes, practices and systems that can improve employee satisfaction, provide stronger employee assistance programmes and support, as well as streamline the overall HR experience for your employees.
Remaining compliant with labour law changes:
Given that 2023 has been a year with many labour law developments across various countries in APAC – such as Malaysia’s massive overhaul of its Employment Act and Singapore’s introduction of the COMPASS framework for Employment Pass applications – it is highly crucial for companies to remain compliant with upcoming labour law changes in all locations, particularly those with a presence in multiple countries.
Compliance can come in the form of adhering to minimum wage hikes, new tax brackets, increased number of leave, and so on – all of which can incur additional costs and would need to be accounted for in the HR budget. Additionally, remaining compliant with labour laws ensures there are minimal legal and financial repercussions, leading to a more prudent budget.
How Do You Prepare an HR Budget?
When you plan a budget for HR, some crucial pointers to have in mind when listing down what to include are:
Building a Strategy for Smart Expansion: Consider your company’s expansion plans for 2024 – if any. Coming up with a solid plan if you want to expand in 2024 is crucial, and you can consider a low-cost and minimal-risk option such as an employer of record. According to an article by Yahoo! Finance, in 2023, the worldwide EOR market reached a value of USD 1890.29 million and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.07% over the forecast period, ultimately reaching USD 3745.43 million by 2030.
For companies with multiple locations, when revising the budget, HR will look at which locations are now more mature and stable compared to last year to allocate the budget more evenly.
Investing in The Right Software and HR Tech: Get acquainted with the latest AI trends in hiring and find out how the right tools can enhance your journey of finding the right people to join your workforce.
Integration Options for Different Business Sizes: Speaking of knowing what works for your company size, if you’re a regional company, you’d likely work with a payroll outsourcing provider to streamline your regional payroll. Revisit your current service to see if its integration capabilities are still suited to your business – depending on if your headcount has been expanded or downsized recently.
A Data-Driven 2024 budget: A budget that is tailored heavily based on data allows for better foresight, less errors and allows you to make better informed decisions for your businesses. A report by McKinsey Global Institute shows that data-driven organisations are likely to be 19 times more profitable, and 6 times more likely to retain those customers. You can use data from previous budgets to get insights on what to do differently this time.
What are the must-haves in your HR budget?

Interviews, screening candidates and background checks
