You didn't think about arbitration costs when you signed that job offer.
Buried in your employment agreement is a clause that could make you pay $10,000 just to sue your employer. We find it in seconds.
That 'standard' arbitration clause? It's costing you thousands.
You get the job offer, excited, sign quickly. Buried on page 12: 'Each party shall bear their own costs, including half the arbitrator's fees.' Translation: if your employer wrongfully fires you, you pay $10,000 just to start the case.
- You signed it at 11pm because the recruiter said the offer expires tomorrow.
- The clause is in tiny font on page 14, titled 'Dispute Resolution.'
- If you ever sue, you're on the hook for half the arbitrator's $20,000 fee.

Employees who caught the trap
"I signed my offer at 2am because HR said it was urgent. Legal Shell AI found that I'd be paying $8k in arbitration costs if I ever sued them. Nope."
"Thought my contract was fine. Turns out page 15 says I cover half the arbitrator's fee. That's $12k I would've missed."
"My boss said the arbitration clause is 'standard.' Yeah, standard trap. This tool showed me exactly what it meant in real money."
