From the supplier: Recent wrongful termination litigation casts doubt on many assumptions employers relied upon under the old employment-at-will doctrine. Sex and age discrimination cases are proliferating, as are wrongful discharge claims based on personnel handbooks and other policy statements. Courts have shown an increasing willingness to enforce such documents as contracts, and some judges will even find certain oral policy statements binding. Employers are advised to disclaim such contracts expressly, and to avoid making promises in the hiring process.
