Washington Supreme Court's Storti Decision: A Reminder to Check Your Employee Handbook
Washington courts have long recognized that employee handbook provisions may form the basis for unilateral contracts between employers and employees. The Washington Supreme Court's recent decision in Storti v. Univ. of Wash., serves as an important reminder for employers to pay close attention when drafting employee handbooks, and also offers valuable guidance on how, if necessary, employers can preserve the right to modify handbook language construed as a promise.
