Report Link In Illinois, Conversion to At-Will Status Requires Bargained-For Consideration (pdf).
Vedder Price - December 20, 2007
HR professionals and in-house counsel are often faced with the challenging task of getting out from under commitments in old employee handbooks, such as promises of progressive discipline, discharge only “for cause” or tenured employment. The Illinois Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled in the late 1990s that an employer could not revoke such “employment contracts” by unilaterally implementing a revised handbook containing “atwill” disclaimers. Nor would the mere continuation of employment under a revised handbook provide suffi cient consideration for conversion to at-will employment status.
