Employees who have been discriminated against at work may sometimes be forced to choose arbitration as the sole means of settling a dispute, rather than taking the case to court. As a condition of employment, some employers require their employees to agree to mandatory arbitration of employment disputes. To be legally enforceable, he language in the arbitration clause must clearly indicate that the employee is waiving their right to a trial by jury. Individuals who need assistance in deciphering the arbitration clause in their employment agreement, or who would like legal counsel to determine their rights under an arbitration agreement, are invited to contact the Law Firm of Jacobson & Rooks, LLC.
