Document Summary

In the event of a breach of company policy: **even if a policy is laid out clearly it may not protect the employer if the employer misrepresents the contents of the policy.

If an employer wants to make a minor change (modify procedure for applying for reimbursements) the employer can just employees if it amends to the policy manual.
