August, 2012 - A former employee of Hallmark in Lawrence, Kansas was dismissed from court and sent back into arbitration to settle a dispute with the greeting card company over her discharge. Jana Hague filed a lawsuit against Hallmark after a medical leave of absence was first approved and then denied by Hallmark, leading to her subsequent termination.
A Kansas Court of Appeals judge ruled that the employee's claims were subject to mandatory arbitration, and that as an employee of Hallmark, Hague was bound by the procedures of Hallmark's dispute resolution program. In the ruling, all legal actions by Hague were ordered to stop until the arbitration process had run its course.
