Employment Law Mediation Services

Employment law is an expanding area of concern for both employers and employees because often, current and former employees are upset when an employer acts in a manner that is perceived as unfair. Both California and federal laws cover virtually every aspect of the employee-employer relationship, and disputes over employment often end up in the court system. That’s a very expensive and time-consuming way to resolve disagreements.

Employment Mediator Los Angeles
Over the years, employers have become much more concerned about their costs, and many have no qualms about letting workers go when they think it will result in better profitability. As traditional loyalties by employers to employees have decreased, employees no longer see work as a place where they will spend their entire career, even if they wanted to. One employer leads to another and another. This makes today’s workers more likely to sue employers because those relationships aren’t valued as much as they used to be.
Mediation in employment law disputes can bring closure to a case faster and at much less expense in time, energy, and money than litigation. The cost of litigation can be extremely burdensome to employers, and for employees, the difficulty of litigation can be overwhelming.
  • Instead of rolling the dice with an outcome determined by a judge or jury, both sides can benefit from the certainty that Los Angeles mediation services can bring.
  • With employment mediation, both sides have control over the outcome instead of giving that control over to others.

In most employment cases, the plaintiff no longer works for the employer, or the employer may see the plaintiff as someone they would prefer not to have in the workforce but won’t terminate the employment for fear of retaliation claims. Through a Los Angeles mediator, an employer may be able to negotiate a settlement on legal claims and include an agreement where the plaintiff leaves the employer, with both sides agreeing not to disparage the other.

In other cases, despite his or her legal claims, the plaintiff is still employed. If there is goodwill between the parties, a mediated settlement could create an opportunity for a valued employee to stay on, avoiding what could have been highly emotional and divisive litigation.
