Acknowledgment of and Agreement with Arbitration Policy

Helena

We have an Arbitration Policy in our handbook.
policy would never stand up in a court of law.
It is very one sided, lacks "mutuality" and includes the
phrase "I further understand that I will be
responsible for half of the cost of the
arbitrator and any incidental costs of arbitration".
Obviously this has got to come out.

Does anyone have a sample Arbitration Policy that
I could substitute for useless one that I have. Our
President will not entertain the thought of not
having one.

Also from California. Get legal counsel involved in this one. Arbitration is an especially hot topic for California employers. You would also be wise to review any that you get to make sure that it fits our state.

Hopefully, this doesn't come through twice, but I can't see where the original message went through. You should get legal counsel on this issue. Especially for us in California, the rules are pretty stringent as you already know. If you get any from anyone else, you would be wise to have them reviewed as well.

Thanks Gillian!
