Arbitration of Employment Disputes On-demand Webinar

If you were unable to join us for the live webinar session – no worries!   MSU’s School of Labor and Industrial Relations is offering the on-demand webinar:   Arbitration of Employment Disputes.

This on-demand webinar will deliver the same materials and audio presented during the live session and also includes the original eGuidebook, a handy resource for you to refer back to again and again.

Explore the necessary characteristics of an arbitration program to resolve employment disputes.  As more employers turn to arbitration as an alternative to expensive and lengthy litigation, some agreements to arbitrate have not been enforced because they do not meet the minimum requirements to make the agreement to arbitrate conscionable.  In addition, if arbitration is intended to resolve statutory claims, courts look for certain standards in the program to ensure that employees are treated fairly.   If an employer’s arbitration program adheres to these standards, the employer may be able to resolve employment disputes without litigation.  Even if the employee still files a complaint, a solid arbitration program will be subject to only limited judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision.
