How Employment Disputes May Be Resolved
Many workplace claims can proceed through arbitration or mediation, depending on your employment agreement and the specifics of your case. Common examples include:
Employees continue to receive important statutory protections regardless of the dispute resolution forum. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, while the California Labor Code establishes important wage and hour protections for employees. Arbitration does not eliminate an employer’s obligation to comply with these laws or prevent an employee from asserting valid legal claims.
During mediation or arbitration, our attorney could help employees throughout LA organize evidence, evaluate employer policies, prepare witness testimony, and present legal arguments that support their employment claims. Thorough preparation often strengthens your position throughout the dispute resolution process while helping ensure deadlines and procedural requirements are satisfied.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Although arbitration is generally less formal than courtroom litigation, it still follows established legal procedures and evidentiary rules. Experienced defense counsel frequently represent employers and aim to limit legal exposure.
