Mediation
– The Mediation Process
Mediation is a way to settle a disagreement with your employer without going to trial. Instead, a mediator, an unbiased expert in employment law, will help both sides settle the case.
Claims that can be resolved without having to go through a trial or arbitration can potentially save the parties a lot of time and money in litigation.
What Is Mediation?
Mediation is informal and non-binding.
The mediator is neutral and each party has to agree.
The mediator assess the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
Mediation negotiations are confidential and cannot be used during litigation.
The mediator's goal is for both sides to agree on a solution they can live with and trust.
