This Standard Clause provides sample language for a California-compliant mandatory arbitration provision of employment-related claims. It is provided for employers who wish to incorporate a shorter provision as part of a written employment agreement or employee handbook. It should be noted, however, that there are risks to relying on an arbitration provision that is incorporated into a larger document rather than a standalone agreement and special care should be taken to call out the provisions within the larger document, whether by using bold lettering, requiring an employee acknowledgement, or the like. For a stand-alone arbitration agreement with additional provisions, see Standard Document, Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Employment-Related Disputes (CA). This Standard Clause has integrated drafting notes with important explanations and drafting tips.
