Summary
In California, arbitration awards are generally final and binding, with a four-year statute of limitations for enforcement. If an award is not enforced within this period, it may be difficult to pursue. Reviewing your arbitration agreement and consulting with an employment lawyer can provide clarity on any possible exceptions or alternative actions. If a second arbitration superseded the first, ensure it was conducted properly and explore if any irregularities can be challenged. Legal advice is crucial to understand your rights and potential next steps.Full Conversation
I received and **** award of reinstatement and back pay, but my employer refused to comply unless another scheduled **** was heard. The second **** somehow superseded the first. i was never made whole per the first ****. And both proceedings were held by the same arbitrator.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds complex and frustrating. To provide more specific information, could you please tell me if you are considering any legal action to enforce the first **** award, or if you have consulted with a lawyer about this issue?
I have yet to speak to anyone regarding this matter. I really want to understand why i wasn't made whole.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To better understand and provide relevant information, could you please let me know if the **** was related to employment, and if so, are you inquiring about the next steps to enforce the first **** award?
Yes, this is regarding employment. I am inquiring on answers to the validity of the ****s
Thank you for providing the details. To help you better, I need to understand a bit more:
- Was there any specific clause in your employment contract regarding **** procedures or the finality of **** awards?
Understanding this will help provide more accurate information regarding the validity and enforcement of your **** awards.
I won an ****, but it was not paid. A second **** was complied with by my employer that allowed them to terminate me. But they didn't comply with the ruling that favored me
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In California, **** awards are generally final and binding unless there are specific terms in the **** agreement that allow for appeal or reconsideration. Here are some general steps you might consider:
- **Review Your Arbitration Agreement:** Check if there are any clauses about the finality of the **** award or procedures for challenging or enforcing awards.
- **Seek Legal Advice:** Consult with an employment lawyer to review the specifics of your case and provide guidance on enforcing the **** award.
- **File a Petition to Confirm the Award:** In California, you can file a petition with the court to confirm and enforce the **** award.

it has been nearly 6 years
I'm sorry to hear that. In California, the statute of limitations for enforcing an **** award is generally four years from the date of the award. Since it has been nearly six years, it may be challenging to enforce the award now.
Would you like more information on any specific legal options or general advice on your situation?
sure
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Since the statute of limitations for enforcing an **** award in California is typically four years, it might be difficult to enforce the award now. Here are some general options you might consider:
- **Consult with a Legal Professional:** Even though the statute of limitations has passed, consulting with an employment lawyer can provide clarity on any possible exceptions or alternative actions.
- **Review the Second Arbitration:** Ensure that the second **** was conducted properly and if any irregularities can be challenged.
