## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that the county agency’s personnel manual, that established a grievance process was sufficient to constitute a unilateral contract of employment; failure to follow the manual’s procedures gave employee right to assert a breach-of-contract claim
- stating that whether employee handbook was sufficiently definite to form an offer for a unilateral contract was a question of law

## Opinion text

The majority relies heavily upon the decision in Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. v. Campbell , 512 So.2d 725 (Ala. 1987). I dissented in that case, and I do likewise here. *Page 1222
