Davis v. Nordstrom, Inc.

Where employer notified employee that it had revised its employee handbook and other policies to reflect U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Federal Arbitration Act preempts state law barring enforcement of arbitration agreement barring class-wide arbitration, employer and employee entered into a valid agreement to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis. Employer satisfied the minimal requirements under California law for providing employees with reasonable notice of a change to its employee handbook by sending a letter to the employees informing them of the modification, and not seeking to enforce the arbitration provision during the 30-day notice period. Employer was not bound to inform an employee that her continued employment after receiving the letter constituted acceptance of new terms of employment.
