Practice question
Employees prove that a lawful voluntarily granted benefit ripened into protected company practice. Management argues that no protection is possible because the benefit was not written into a handbook. Which conclusion is correct?
- A qualifying established practice may be protected despite that absence of a handbook provision.
- Only a handbook can create any protected benefit.
- A regular lawful practice is always irrelevant.
- Every occasional gift necessarily creates the same right.
- An employee must first become a director to invoke the benefit.
