At Sanford A. Kassel, A Professional Law Corporation, we specialize in representing employees in employment law matters, including sexual assault and sexual harassment claims. This article will discuss the implications of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 for employees in the San Bernardino Riverside Inland Empire region.
What is the Ending Forced Arbitration Act?
The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 is a federal law that provides important protections for individuals alleging sexual assault or harassment. According to this law, no predispute arbitration agreement or predispute joint-action waiver shall be valid or enforceable with respect to a case which is filed under Federal, Tribal, or State law and relates to the sexual assault dispute or the sexual harassment dispute.
Implications for Employees
This law empowers individuals who allege sexual assault or harassment by giving them the option to choose whether to proceed with arbitration or to file a lawsuit. This is a significant shift from previous practices where employees were often required to resolve such disputes through arbitration as a condition of their employment.
