PeopleVantage · California Early access
Nearly every California employer now needs a written violence prevention plan.
Since July 1, 2024, California's SB 553 requires a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan, on top of an Injury and Illness Prevention Program and a harassment prevention policy. PeopleVantage for California will draft them, keep them current, and collect employee acknowledgments. Join early access to be first in.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is this legal advice?
No. PeopleVantage gives you well-drafted templates and plain-language information about what the law requires. Royson York is not a law firm. For advice about your specific situation, such as a complaint, an investigation or a dismissal, talk to an employment lawyer.
Who wrote these documents?
Royson York drafted every template directly from the legislation and regulator guidance for each province, and we only sell a province once its templates have been reviewed by a licensed lawyer. Each document shows the date the law was last checked.
What happens when the law changes?
Ontario has passed a new "Working for Workers" act every year since 2021. We check for changes every week. When a requirement changes, subscribers' documents are updated in their vault, and we show which employees need to acknowledge the new version. Policy Kit buyers see that an update is available and can upgrade.
Can employees sign on their phones?
Yes. Each employee gets a private link by email. They read the document, draw their signature with a finger, and they're done. No app, account or password. You get a signed PDF with a full audit trail: time, IP address, device and a fingerprint of the exact document they signed.
Are electronic signatures valid?
Ontario's Electronic Commerce Act, 2000, and the electronic transactions laws in British Columbia and Alberta recognize electronic signatures for documents like policy acknowledgments and most employment agreements. A few document types, such as wills and some real estate documents, need a wet signature, and they don't belong here anyway.
Can I edit the documents?
Yes. Download the Word version and make it yours. Your changes are your responsibility, so if you change anything that a law requires, have it checked.
We have staff in more than one province.
The subscription covers every province we support. A Policy Kit covers one province.
Can I cancel?
Yes, from your billing page, at any time. Your vault and signed records stay available to download.
