If an employer publishes a handbook and sets up rules for itself, it has to abide by its own rules. The question is: What is your remedy when they violate the rules?
The answer may be in the handbook itself, which you should read very carefully.
A lawsuit may be necessary, but most lawyers are very reluctant to get involved in an employee vs. employer lawsuit.
