How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • no discussion of the terms of the handbook; states that, under the at-will rule, certain contractual limitations may arise, but not on the facts of the case before it
  • \It is fundamental contract law that a contract is unenforceable if it is so indefinite and vague that the material provisions cannot be ascertained.\
  • court’s statement that “Employee handbooks are immaterial without an enforceable agreement between the employer and employee of employment for a definite duration” suggests that such handbooks are material where, as here, there is a definite term of employment
