J.M. Davidson, Inc. v. Webster

This is an interlocutory appeal of a trial courts order denying an employers motion to compel arbitration under the companys alternative dispute resolution policy. We recently held that arbitration agreements between an employer and an at-will employee are enforceable when there is an agreement that is valid under traditional contract principles. In re Halliburton Co., 80 S.W.3d 566, 573 (Tex. 2002). Here, we consider whether an arbitration agreement between an employer and an employee is enforceable if the employer reserves the unilateral right to modify or terminate personnel policies without notice. The trial court denied the employers motion to compel arbitration, and the court of appeals affirmed. 49 S.W.3d 507.
