The Supreme Court took three cases on the issue, one of which involves Verona, Wis.-based Epic Systems, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The Epic case involves an overtime pay dispute by an employee. In Chicago, a federal appeals court ruled the employee could file a class-action lawsuit against Epic, making the agreement he signed unenforceable.
The other two cases, in which employees of gas station owner Murphy Oil USA and business consulting company Ernst & Young sought legal action against their employers. In the Murphy Oil case, a New Orleans appeals court ruled that arbitration agreements were enforceable. In the Ernst & Young case, a San Francisco appeals court ruled the agreements were not enforceable.
All three cases will likely be heard in April.
