Handbook Hell

January 29, 2008 at 8:32 am by: John Phillips

Last week, there was a post called “Handbook Heaven” about the new, somewhat controversial handbook rolled out by the Tribune Co.   A recent case underscores the fact that handbooks can be serious business when you end up in court.  As the summary below from the Illinois Employment Law Letter implies, when you have to go back to a 1968 handbook, you can land in “Handbook Hell.”  Maybe Mark Schickman was right about the Tribune Co.’s new handbook.  Maybe.
