Re: At Will Employment
At will employment is at will. Despite having a procedure, you will find most employee manuals today have a disclaimer that the company's employment is employment at will. The question otherwise is very fact specific, as to whether or not you relied on, and were justified in relying on any written promises in the handbook.
