Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Claudia has an implied contract with the company, as the promise made by her supervisor regarding the live projects creates an expectation of continued employment. However, Claudia's contract also states that she must give three months' notice before quitting, which indicates that she is not an at-will employee. The supervisor has not necessarily violated an employment law, but Claudia could potentially challenge the company in court if they fail to fulfill their promise within a reasonable timeframe.
