Employment Arbitration

Federal and state laws reflecting societal intolerance for certain workplace conduct, as well as court decisions interpreting and applying those statutes, have redefined responsible corporate practice and employee relations. Increasingly, employers and employees face workplace disputes involving alleged wrongful termination, sexual harassment, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, and disability.

 

As courts and administrative agencies become less accessible to civil litigants, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures have become more common in contracts of employment, personnel manuals, and employee handbooks as a means of resolving workplace disputes privately, promptly, and economically. Millions of workers are now covered by employment ADR clauses administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
