New York A07898 mandates specific notice of mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts.

New York A07898 amends the civil practice law and rules to require employment contracts to include specific notice of mandatory arbitration clauses. The notice must inform the signing party that they are agreeing to a mandatory arbitration clause and provide a link to a plain language explanation of arbitration. If a party signs an employment contract without personal interaction, the representative must clearly explain the arbitration clause. The bill also nullifies the arbitration clause if it conflicts with federal law, without affecting the enforceability of other contract provisions.
