IS YOUR CA EMPLOYER FORCING YOU TO ARBITRATE EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T SIGN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE?

In California, many employers attempt to avoid going to court for lawsuits by unhappy employees by requiring all employees to sign arbitration clauses. An arbitration clause is a commonly used clause in an employment contract that requires you and your employer to resolve your disputes through an arbitration process. That means that you need to settle your issues outside of the courts and with the help of a mediator, who is not necessarily a judge. Make sure your arbitration clause is legal.

If you want to sue your CA employer for discrimination or sexual harassment or any other employment issue and he is claiming that you must arbitrate, make sure that you singed an arbitration agreement. The mere fact that your employer gave you one to look at is probably not enough to require you to forego your legal right to hire an attorney and go to court.
