Emphasize that the employment relationship is "at-will." Employers generally should not insert statements such as "No employee will be fired without just cause" or statements that imply or state that employees have tenure. Make it clear that statements of company policies, benefits, and regulations do not constitute the terms and conditions of an employment contract, either expressed or implied. It's wise to have a lawyer review your handbook, or at least to use a verified source.
