Employer's Resource is proud to have been the first company in the PEO industry to offer Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) to our clients. At no additional cost to your company, we provide access to an independent firm that can save your business from unexpected and devastating lawsuits, using one (or both) of the following proven methodologies:
Mediation
Mediation is a non-binding form of dispute resolution that works well for minor disputes. Here, the two parties involved (and their legal counsel if so desired) sit down with a professional third-party mediator, who engages in "shuttle diplomacy" to formulate a solution that is acceptable to both sides.
Binding Arbitration
The Binding Arbitration process starts out with non-binding mediation. If the parties are unable to reach a mutually satisfying compromise, the process converts to Binding Arbitration. In this process both parties and their legal counsel present their case to one or more arbiters. Typically, escalation takes place with the same third-party mediator that attempted mediation. As a result, the arbiter is familiar with the true needs of both parties, which encourages reasonableness during mediation. Decisions reached in arbitration are generally legally binding and enforceable.
