Arbitration Agreements: What The New U.S. Supreme Court Ruling Means for Your Workplace Training Seminar
More and more employers are turning to arbitration agreements as a strategy for reducing their legal costs and resolving their disputes with workers more amicably. They've added arbitration clauses to their employee handbooks and, in many cases, required employees to accept mandatory arbitration of disputes as a condition of employment.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a ruling (Preston v. Ferrer) protecting the rights of employers to require arbitration with their workers under Federal Arbitration Act guidelines, even if state laws try to limit those rights.
This decision limits your employees' chances of challenging your employment agreements in court - but you may still lose the war if your arbitration clauses are ruled unenforceable for other reasons.
Learning Objectives
By attending this audio-conference, you and your co-workers will learn:- The legal dos and don'ts of using arbitration to resolve disputes with your employees
- How the Preston decision could affect both your existing arbitration policies and the ones you haven't introduced yet
- The common mistakes that can invalidate your arbitration agreements and land you in court
- The best practices you should adopt in handling arbitrations, from setting time limits to file an arbitration request to selecting the arbitrators who will handle your cases
- Who should pay for the costs of your employment arbitrations
- What types of notice you must give employees about arbitration procedures (and how this information should be distributed - in your handbooks, on job applications, or via other means)
You'll also have the chance to ask your own arbitration questions during the conference, over the phone or via email!
