Affirmed the decision of the trial court to stay the proceedings pending arbitration. The appeal was taken from a final, appealable order. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in compelling arbitration and finding no waiver occurred. The evidentiary materials were properly considered, appellant's act of electronically signing the employment agreement was sufficient, it was not argued or shown that the arbitration provision was unconscionable, and the trial court did not err in finding the arbitration provision is enforceable.
