Woolley v. Hoffman-La Roche, Inc.

In the case of Woolley v. Hoffman-La Roche, Inc., 99 N.J. 284, clarified 101 N.J. 10 (1985), the New Jersey Supreme Court held that employment manuals can be an implied contract. The Woolley doctrine is generally invoked to establish an undertaking by the employer that employment is only terminable for cause, as opposed to "at will" employment.
