Iowa Admin. Code r. 161-3.11 - Mediation
(1) Mediation shall
be available once a complaint has been filed, when a party to the complaint
requests mediation, when the case has been preliminarily screened in for
investigation pursuant to the procedures set forth in rule
161-3.12
(216), or at any time while the complaint is still open and the parties agree
to participate. Mediation is a neutral, non-fact-finding process, at which
parties attempt to negotiate a no-fault predetermination settlement for the
purpose of amicably resolving the complaint. Mediation shall be available to
all parties irrespective of representation by counsel. Mediation may encompass
all issues in the case which could have been investigated by the commission
including any claims for unlawful retaliation that may exist through the date
of the mediation notice. If the parties agree to seek and obtain a global
settlement not limited to a resolution of the civil rights issues, the
mediation may be expanded to include these collateral claims.
(2) Mediation notification shall be sent via
regular or electronic mail to all parties and their respective counsels, if
applicable. Notification may include detailed information on the mediation
process.
