AG Sources
The company believes that most differences between employees and the company can be successfully resolved through internal processes. However, if any claim, controversy or dispute arises with the company resulting from or related to an employee’s employment or termination of employment, it will be submitted for arbitration and resolution (unless prohibited by law) exclusively to an arbitrator, except that any arbitration decisions may be enforced by court order. The company believes this is a more effective and more economical way to resolve disputes for both the company and an employee. -HomeServices Human Resources Employee Policy (2013)
