The vast majority of employment disputes are settled, whether the cases are resolved in arbitration or litigation. But of the small percentage of cases that end in a decision, employees are three times more likely to win in arbitration than in court, a study released Thursday by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform found.

The analysis conducted by ndp analytics and funded by the business-friendly ILR found that of the 10% of employment decisions resolved by a decision in arbitration and the 14% resolved by a decision in litigation, employees were 32% more likely to win in an arbitration proceeding, compared to 11% in litigation. The report, which ILR touts as the largest study of employment dispute resolution, is based on an analysis of nearly 100,000 employment arbitration cases and federal court cases that ended between 2014 and 2018.
