Coming soon Domestic Violence Mediation
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) refers to any method of resolving disputes without litigation. ADR regroups all processes and techniques of conflict resolution that occur outside of any governmental authority. All ADR methods have common characteristics, enabling the parties to find admissible solutions to their conflicts outside traditional legal/court proceedings but governed by different rules. As burgeoning court queues, rising costs of litigation, and time delays continue to plague litigants, ADR arises as a common sense replacement.
When a business suffers a financial loss because of another business' misconduct, it can bring a business tort lawsuit to recover damages. Lawsuits can be both costly and a lengthy process. ADR mediation is a viable remedy to this problem.
As a business owner, your main focus is likely to ensure your business stays profitable. A large part of running a business involves dealing with employment disputes.
ADR mediation can be used to settle the following types of disputes:
(1) Racial discrimination
(2) Sexual harassment claims
(3) Claims involving the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(4) Employee Contract claims
(5) Wrongful termination cases
(6) Wage and hour disputes, including minimum wage, waiting on payment, overtime, etc.
Contract disputes can occur between your business and another business, between partners or business owners and our employees. When a person or business breaches a contract with you, they are essentially failing to honor their end of an agreement.
This type of dispute occurs when an employer is accused of not compensating for workers for their time on the job. Examples could be not paying overtime or earned tips or not allowing regular breaks.
These disputes often put an employee's work at the center of the mediation.
Discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment by managers, co-workers or others because of a person's race, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age or disability are all subjects covered in a mediation dispute.
Employers may offer employees who leave their company certain types of compensation in return for signing a non-disclosure or non-compete agreements.
Disputes often arise out of contracts because they are incomplete or unclear. Each party interprets the language differently, usually for their own benefit, resulting in one party failing to honor their end of the agreement.
These disputes occur when the partners disagree as to what i in the best interest of their business. Agreements over financial compensation or leadership roles can quickly lead to a dispute.
A business can ask their employees to sign non-compete agreemetns, whch bind the employee not to engagge in similar business practices for a specified period of time in a specific location. On occasion, these agreements can be overly broad and unenforceable, which is why they need to be drafted carefully.
