Court of Appeals Finds Mandatory Arbitration Agreement as a Condition of Employment Unenforceable
In Shaffer v. ACS Gov’t Servc., Inc., Richard Shaffer filed suit against his employer, ACS Government Services, Inc. (“ACS”), alleging violations of the Jury System Improvement Act. ACS moved to compel arbitration, claiming that Mr. Shaffer’s continued employment constituted acceptance of its mandatory Arbitration Policy. The US District Court for the District of Maryland denied ACS’ motion to compel arbitration, concluding that continued employment does not, by itself, constitute consideration for an arbitration agreement.
Mr. Shaffer was represented by the attorneys of The Employment Law Group® law firm.
