What Employers Need to Know About Arbitration Agreements and Class Action Waivers
November 7, 2018 9:30 am – 10:30 am Alhambra Room
On May 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court upheld the use of class and collective action waivers in arbitration agreements, in the much anticipated Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis decision, but California courts still prohibit waiver of wage and hour representative claims under California’s Private Attorney Genera Act (PAGA). What does this mean for California employers? This presentation will discuss the evolving legal landscape surrounding the enforceability of arbitration agreements, practical considerations when crafting agreements, and best practices for rolling out agreements.
