Ravi Sattiraju, Esq. was recently quoted in the NJ Law Journal discussing the Appellate Division’s decision in Morgan v. Raymours Furniture Company Inc. in which the Court held that a clause in an employee handbook requiring arbitration of job disputes is unenforceable where the handbook also contains a disclaimer stating that it is not a binding employment contract. Mr. Sattiraju stated, ““If an employer wants to get consent for arbitration, it has to be done in a clear way. What the court is saying is the employer can’t simultaneously argue that the handbook is not a contract but it is an enforceable agreement for the purpose of compelling arbitration.”
