-
Mayoria de los contratos escrito en inglés contiene una cláusula de arbitraje obligatorio. Aquellos que son beneficiarios de la cláusula de arbitraje no tienen que pasar por litigios prolongados y procesos judiciales, por lo que pueden resolver el problema mediante la inversión de una cantidad relativamente pequeña de honorarios de abogados.

The California Labor Law does not requires to give advance notice and tell employees why they are dismissed if you do not have a separate company policy for dismissing a worker.
