An employment arbitration agreement typically asks employees to agree that any disputes will be resolved through arbitration. It can be a standalone document, but it's most often part of a broader employment contract.
A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.

Filing requirements vary from one court to another; you need to consult with the court clerk about local rules for filing that apply to your case.
