Report Link Employee handbook does not constitute an employment contractOgletree Deakins - September 12, 2006 Court finds disciplinary procedures did not alter employee's at will employment status. Report Link South Carolina Case Illustrates Importance of Bringing Employee Handbooks Into Compliance with 2004 Law (pdf).Nexsen Pruet - August 08, 2005 The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled on July 18, 2005, that an employer’s general
statement of non-discrimination in its employee handbook is not sufficient to create a
contract between the employer and an employee (Hessenthaler v. Tri-County Sister Help,
Inc. III). This is the third in a series of opinions over five years addressing South Carolina’s
employment-at-will doctrine, which generally recognizes that employment may end at any
time for any reason as long as that reason is not illegal. Report Link Handbook Does Not Alter "At-Will" Status (pdf)Ogletree Deakins - December 27, 2004 The South Carolina Supreme Court
recently rejected an employee's breach
of contract claim even though the employee
handbook did not state that
employees could be fired for any or no
reason. According to the court, since
the manual was not "inherently ambiguous"
it did not call into question
the employee's at-will status.
