What It Is

People Plan is enterprise software for workforce reduction / RIF processes, aimed primarily at HR, finance, legal teams, and external employment counsel. It is not a general-purpose HRIS. Instead, it connects pre-layoff cost modeling, compliance checks, selection rationale, legal documents, manager notifications, and day-of execution tracking into an auditable workflow. The platform explicitly states that it does not provide legal advice; its role is to give attorneys more complete inputs for faster review.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is organized into five stages: Model, Comply, Coordinate, Document, and Execute. Model lets teams compare different layoff scenarios and updates severance, COBRA, PTO payout, and labor burden costs in real time. Comply covers Federal WARN, mini-WARN laws in 14 states, OWBPA/ADEA, and adverse impact analysis, while also surfacing employee flags such as FMLA, workers’ compensation, and EEOC. Document can generate termination scripts, WARN notices, OWBPA disclosure packages, and selection rationales. Execute provides conversation planning, notification sequencing, witness arrangements, and a real-time dashboard.

Integrations, Security, and Deployment

For integrations, People Plan connects to 200+ HRIS, payroll, PEO, and EOR systems via Finch, including Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, Rippling, ADP, Paychex, UKG, Gusto, Deel, and Remote. It can pull employee rosters directly, reducing CSV handling. For collaboration, it supports role-based permissions, read-only sharing, structured manager evaluations, secure time-limited links for external counsel, and timestamped audit trails. Its security statements include encryption in transit and at rest, no sale of customer data, no use of customer data for AI training, and deletion 90 days after account closure. Deployment appears to be cloud-based SaaS; self-hosting and open API availability are not disclosed.

Pricing, Pros, and Cons

Pricing is based on an annual subscription, with plans by organization size: Growing, Established, and Large, covering roughly 200 to 3000+ employees. All plans include WARN, OWBPA, and adverse impact analysis, and external counsel and managers can participate for free via secure links. However, exact pricing requires contacting sales, and fees are denominated in USD. Its strengths are a highly focused use case, a complete compliance workflow, and audit/permission design suited to sensitive processes. Limitations include that it cannot replace attorneys, pricing is not transparent, no free trial is disclosed, and support for regulations outside the United States appears limited.

Who It’s For and Access from China

People Plan is best suited to mid-sized and large companies operating across multiple U.S. states that may face layoffs or organizational restructuring, especially teams where HR, legal, and finance need to jointly manage risk. For Chinese companies, it may be useful if they need to manage layoff compliance for U.S.-based employees. For scenarios such as terminating local Chinese labor contracts or filing economic layoff procedures in China, the available materials do not indicate support. Accessibility from mainland China is unknown, and payment methods are not disclosed. Domestic alternatives may include Beisen, Moka, and Feishu/DingTalk HR tools, but these are generally not specialized U.S. layoff compliance tools.
