What is Binding Arbitration?
Binding Arbitration is a process where a neutral arbitrator hears both sides of a dispute and issues a final, enforceable decision. Unlike mediation, arbitration removes uncertainty—once the arbitrator rules, the matter is concluded without appeal.

- Proceedings remain private and confidential
