Many courts have implied the existence of a contract based on the ideas and presence of promises, policies, and procedures that are written into an employee personnel manual or other such document. These documents have been held as employee contracts based, in part, on the fact that the information contained within the document was presented to said employees at the beginning of their employment. According to the LAW531 text, a factor determining the contract status of a personnel manual or similar document’s terms is the employee reliance upon such terms (Jennings, 2006). It is my belief that this case clearly gives NewCorp reason to worry over the possible contract status of the personnel manual. If held as an implied contract, Pat would definitely possess grounds for a wrongful termination suit.

Lawyers say only a handful of public employees have won such claims, which have been filed with increasing frequency” (Savage, 2008).
In Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, the Supreme Court ruled that the validity of job tests must be documented and that employee performance standards must be unambiguous. (LO 2.1; AACSB: Communication Skills; Learning Outcome: Summarize the nature and effects of equal employment opportunity

In 1969, President Richard Nixon issued Executive Order 11491, which further developed the framework of federal labor-management relations. It provided that majority exclusive recognition would be the only form of union recognition, established the Federal Labor Relations Council (the predecessor to the current Federal Labor Relations Authority, FLRA) and the Federal Service Impasses Panel (FSIP), and listed prohibited unfair labor practices for both unions and management. It also allowed employees to use limited “official time” to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. Although federal employees were given collective bargaining rights under the executive orders (EOs) issued by Presidents Kennedy and Nixon, those rights were not necessarily secure, as

If I have any other doubts or concerns I would seek advice and guidance from my supervisor. 2.1: Describe potential conflicts or dilemmas that may arise between the duty of care and an individual’s rights: If a client feels that the support from the service they are getting is not the best for them, it’s in their rights to question it and my duty of care to the client to put forward a solution.
