Michele Lyn Beach, Appellant v. Sonia Handforth-Kome

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the clinic and its executive director on the employee's claims that her at-will termination breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. It held that the clinic's record review was sufficiently fair and that the employee handbook permitted immediate dismissal without additional pretermination procedures. The retaliation claim was not considered further because the employee waived two independently sufficient grounds supporting its rejection.
