Description:
A recent decision by the Oregon Court of Appeals enforced an agreement requiring an employee to arbitrate her sexual harassment and wrongful termination claims. Motsinger v. Lithia Rose-FT, Inc., Case No. 04CV2574CC (Or.App., April 4, 2007)
Arbitration agreements are a viable way for employers to avoid jury trial in these types of employment-related claims but they must be carefully drafted, and should not restrict possible remedies nor have an unequal effect on either of the parties.
