Rights arbitration is used to resolve disputes involving the interpretation, application, or alleged violation of existing agreements, such as cases of employee termination for alleged misconduct. This contrasts with interest arbitration, which is used to settle disputes over the terms of a new contract when parties cannot agree. Mediation and conciliation are forms of dispute resolution that involve a third party to help reach a settlement but do not result in a binding decision. Final offer selection is a form of arbitration used in collective bargaining but is not typically used for grievance resolution like this.
