An employment manual contains a notice and disclaimer that the employment is entirely “at will,” and also contains a progressive discipline system which recites an escalating series of notices and warnings before termination. If an employee is terminated immediately, and the progressive discipline system is not followed:
|
the termination is suspect because the progressive discipline system was not followed |
||
|
the termination is suspect because the employment manual is ambiguous |
||
|
many courts hold that the presence of disclaimers inserted into employee manuals shields employer’s from claims of wrongful termination based on implied contract theory. |
