HR Hero Audio Conference on CD
Presented by Elliot Shaller and Neil Currie
July 20th, 2006
Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
The Supreme Court's landmark Circuit City ruling allowed employers to demand the use arbitration to settle employment disputes, given that a proper policy is in place. But many such policies have recently been struck down by the courts as unenforceable – because of defects in how those policies were designed.
Now you can learn all about what makes or breaks an arbitration policy when you participate in a 90-minute live audio conference, Design an Effective and Enforceable Employment Arbitration Policy.
When you do, you'll gain the knowledge you need to both craft a new policy and revise existing procedures to withstand judicial scrutiny. Plus, you'll learn how to make sure your policy will be accepted by employees as a fair, balanced, efficient, and expeditious way of resolving conflicts.
Using real-world illustrations and examples from recent cases, this lively discussion will help you confidently answer tough questions, like:
- Which employees and what types of claims should be included or excluded from the program?
- What type of consideration should we offer employees to ensure the enforceability of our arbitration policy?
- What steps can we take to be sure our policy won't be deemed unenforceable on the grounds of “unconscionability” or “lack of mutuality”?
- What procedures can be incorporated into the program to ensure adequate due process?
- How should we select our arbitrator?
- What time limits for filing an arbitration request should we put in place?
- What rules of procedure and evidence should we use?
- What type and how much discovery should we permit?
- Should we authorize the arbitrator to rule on dispositive motions?
- What remedies should we allow the arbitrator to award?
- What type of written award should we require the arbitrator to issue?
- How should we allocate arbitration costs?
- Should our arbitration policy be incorporated into the employee handbook or application form -- or put in a separate document?
What works -- and what doesn't -- has changed dramatically in the last 5 years. Don't risk having your arbitration policy thrown out. Invest just an hour and a half in maintaining this valuable dispute-resolution tactic by joining hundreds of your colleagues, from the convenience of your office, for Design an Effective and Enforceable Employment Arbitration Policy.
