What does NDA mean in HOCKEY

A Neutral Discipline Arbitrator (NDA) is an impartial third-party who provides arbitration services to help resolve disputes between employers and employees. The NDA acts as a mediator and provides unbiased advice to both parties in order to reach an agreement.

NDAs can provide arbitration services for a variety of workplace disputes, including those related to disciplinary proceedings, grievances, contract issues, performance reviews, claims for discrimination or harassment, allegations of misconduct, and more.

Using the services of an NDA can often save time and money compared to traditional litigation or negotiation processes. An NDA is also well-versed in applicable labor laws, providing employers and employees with invaluable expertise that may not otherwise be available. Additionally, NDAs are designed specifically to promote mutual understanding and respect between both parties involved in a dispute.

Generally speaking, both parties will pay equal share of the cost associated with hiring an NDA. In some cases where one party has initiated the dispute resolution process, they may be responsible for paying all or part of these costs.

Every case is different; however most cases involving NDAs are typically resolved much faster than typical litigation processes due to their focus on collaboration and mediation principles. Depending on the complexity and nature of the dispute it could take anywhere from several weeks to several months before a resolution is reached.

When selecting an NDA it is important you select one who has extensive experience and knowledge in their field as well as excellent communication skills so both parties feel comfortable throughout the process. Other important factors include accreditation by professional organizations such as AAA or CPR within their specialty area and experience handling similar cases like yours.
