Existing law prohibits certain employment contract provisions as against public policy and declares provisions in certain construction contracts between a contractor and subcontractor for work in this state that purport to require dispute resolution between the parties to be commenced or determined outside of the state to be void and unenforceable. This bill would establish a rebuttable presumption that a choice of law or choice of forum provision in an employment agreement, handbook, or other statement of an employer's policies is unconscionable, violates the public policy of the state, and is void, if the provision would require an employee or job applicant to arbitrate or litigate a claim outside of California that arose from employment or conduct in this state or would deprive the employee or applicant of the protection of California law for such a claim. The bill would require a court to consider specified factors in determining whether a person seeking to enforce the choice of law or choice of forum provision has rebutted the presumption.
