Employers have the right to require their employees to arbitrate their claims, and to terminate the employment of those who fail to sign, provided the arbitration agreement protects certain substantive rights of the employee as laid out in a number of court decisions. The courts, however, may look more closely at the arbitration rules in this case to determine if the provision is enforceable.
