Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A promise made in an employee handbook can be considered part of an implied contract if certain conditions are met, such as if the handbook creates a reasonable expectation of job security or provides specific procedures for disciplinary action or termination. However, this may depend on the specific language used in the handbook and applicable state law. Therefore, it is not always true that such promises will not be considered part of an implied contract.
