PrideStaff’s Binding Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Process

By submitting your application, you and PrideStaff, also doing business as Rx relief, Insurance Relief, PrideStaff Financial, and G.A. Rogers (collectively “the Company”) agree to arbitrate all claims or controversies relating to your application, hiring decisions and employment, employment, and termination of employment with the Company including its affiliated entities. This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) or the arbitration law of the jurisdiction where arbitration will take place will apply to the extent the FAA does not apply. All disputes covered by this Agreement shall be decided by a single arbitrator through individual, final and binding arbitration and not by a court or jury. Except as otherwise provided herein, arbitration will be under JAMS then-current Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (”JAMS Rules”), which are available at www.jamsadr.com; provided, however, this Agreement shall govern over JAMS Rules in the event of a conflict.

Except as it otherwise provides, this Agreement applies to all claims or controversies that otherwise would be justiciable in court, including, without limitation, statutory and common law claims; and claims arising out of or related to your application and selection for employment, employment (if you are hired), or termination of employment, and including, without limitation, disputes based on or related to background checks, privacy, contracts, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, classification, minimum wage, overtime, meal and rest periods, termination, retaliation, discrimination, or harassment, and all other claims for violating any federal, state or other law, statute, regulation, or ordinance. This Agreement does not cover claims that, as a matter of law (after application of FAA preemption), may not be subject to arbitration. Parties are responsible for their own attorney’s fees, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law applicable to the claims asserted. The parties are entitled to adequate discovery, and arbitration will take place in the county where you applied to work for the Company unless the parties agree otherwise. Claims shall be brought on an individual basis only and the parties waive any right to bring a class or collective action in arbitration to the full extent allowable by law, and the arbitrator will have no authority to hear or preside over any class and/or collective action. The parties agree to arbitrate California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims on an individual basis only, so any claim under PAGA to recover civil penalties or other individual relief must be arbitrated. Regardless of anything else in this Agreement or the JAMS Rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver or PAGA individual action requirement may be determined only by a court and not an arbitrator. Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with a government agency, including, without limitation, the EEOC, NLRB, OSHA, Department of Labor or similar state or local agencies.  Arbitration requests must be initiated within the legal statute of limitations for the claim and made in writing to the the Company at 7535 N. Palm Ave., Suite 101, Fresno CA 93711. If you are hired, you may be asked to agree to another agreement to arbitrate.
