Most employee handbooks state on the first page and often times under certain sections that “this handbook is not a contract and your employment is at -will.”
However, if there are certain written policies in the handbook, for example, anti bullying policies, or hostile work free environment policies and the language in the handbook describes the obligation on the employee to report said adverse treatment against them as well as what the employer is suppose to do to help, such as to complete a full investigation, etc., and the employee fulfills its responsibilities under the policy but the employer does not, and as a result, the adverse treatment continues or the employee is retaliated against for complaining and following the employers policies, then you should let me know.
