A recent employment case shows that simply ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ is not enough under California law - and the company might ring a familiar bell when it comes to gradeschool science class...๐ฅฝ๐ฅผ๐ฌ๐งช
In สษชแดแดแด๊ฑ แด . แดสแดสแดแด ๊ฐษช๊ฑสแดส ๊ฑแดษชแดษดแดษช๊ฐษชแด, the company sent a former manager FOUR emails with a link to its arbitration agreement, saying he would be deemed to agree if he didnโt opt out in 45 days - but it did not play out exactly as they thought it would...
๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ญ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ท๐ช๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต!
So the court ruled there was no valid contract!
The lesson is clear: employers need proof that workers actually saw and accepted the terms, not just that an email was delivered.
Arbitration agreements are risky business and can spell disaster for both employees and employers!
