This Law Firm Publication by Flaster Greenberg PC discusses the New Jersey Appellate Division's recent decision in C.M. v. Maiden Re Insurance Stervices LLC holding that a mandatory arbitration policy in an employee handbook does not constitute an agreement to arbitrate employment claims when the handbook contains a disclaimer that its policies do not create contractual obligations. The Appellate Division determined that employees do not waive their right to pursue employment claims in court unless they sign an agreement with their employer reflecting an unambiguous intention to arbitrate those claims.
