Why does the Mandatory and Arbitration Agreement cover more than on-the-job injury claims?
Although the CEI/VIP policy only provides coverage for on-the-job injury benefits and liability, employees frequently bring suit against employers for a wide range of alleged wrongs. Arbitration is a fast, fair, efficient means for resolving disputes, eliminating the delay, expense, acrimony, and irrationality of many jury trials. If an employer is going to rollout an arbitration program like the Mandatory Arbitration Agreement, we think most employers will benefit from it having coverage as broad as possible.
