An arbitration agreement is a legally binding contract between two parties or more so in this case between you and the employer. In the Arbitration Agreement both parties agree to use alternative dispute resolution (e.g., mediation, settlement conferences, neutral evaluation, arbitration) rather than pursuing civil court litigation in case a dispute arises. The Arbitration Agreement typically describes the scope of the disputes covered as well as the process, procedure and other requirements related to arbitration.

Companies use arbitration clauses to get a resolution to the dispute faster and sometimes because it can be less costly. You should ensure that the clause protects you as much as possible.

An arbitration clause allows the parties to have their disputes heard by an Arbitrator (trier of fact, similar to a Judge), instead of going to court). When parties disagree, they can either go to court (the average case takes about 2 years to be heard) or to have their case tried before an arbitrator (ususally a much quicker and sometimes less expensive option).
