Skuse v. Pfizer
N.J. Supreme Court (2020) The court ruled that an agreement to arbitrate employment claims is enforceable when an employee provides explicit, affirmative consent, either in writing or written or electronically. The court gives guidance to employers that utilize electronic methods, such as emails and PowerPoint presentations, to obtain employees’ consent and suggests a “click box” is sufficient to make it “unmistakably clear” that the employee is “voluntarily agreeing” to the arbitration policy.
