Abstract
This article reviews how binding commitments can be avoided in employment handbooks through the use of "disclaimers" to preserve the at-will employment relationship. It discusses the legal implications of drafting disclaimers properly by ensuring that they are prominently set forth, not inconsistent, based on adequate consideration, and are communicated.
