FAQ
A clause that requires arbitration is known as a mandatory arbitration clause. Today's question is: Are such clauses enforceable in Illinois? The short answer is yes, and the long answer doesn't really change much.
If possible, avoid the use of technical jargon or "shop talk." Remember that the arbitrator may not know the details of your work or the Postal Service. However, if you must use "shop talk" to clarify a point, be sure to briefly define what you mean.
At the arbitration hearing, the parties present their case to the arbitration panel and the arbitrators make a monetary award based on the evidence. The Illinois Code of Civil Procedure, Illinois Supreme Court Rules and the established rules of evidence all apply in arbitration hearings.
Does signing an arbitration agreement completely remove my right to sue? While arbitration agreements are generally enforceable, they do not absolutely eliminate the possibility of going to court.
The hearing is conducted like a trial where the parties may be represented by an attorney, or they may represent themselves. The arbitrator or the arbitration panel will act in place of a judge and reach a decision, called an award, at the conclusion of the hearing.
Arbitration is an ADR process where the parties present arguments and evidence to an independent third party, the arbitrator, who makes a determination. Arbitration is particularly useful where the subject matter is highly technical, or where the parties seek greater confidentiality than in an open court.
Arbitration is a formal method of dispute resolution involving a third party neutral who makes a binding decision. The third party neutral (the 'arbitrator', 'arbiter' or 'arbitral tribunal') renders the decision in the form of an 'arbitration award'.
Arbitration has four types of functions: resolving contractual disputes between management and labor, addressing interests of different parties in bargaining situations such as public sector labor relations, settling litigated claims through court-annexed programs, and resolving community disputes.
Arbitration is often used to resolve disputes in labor and employment matters. For example, an employee might file a grievance with his or her employer, alleging that the employer has violated the terms of the employment agreement.
