Question:

A woman applied for a part-time position in human resources. At the time she applied, she was working part-time for a benefits consulting company and received the same benefits as full-time employees. During interviews and negotiations with the prospective employer, the woman was repeatedly told that she would receive the same benefits as the company’s full-time employees. The letter of offer listed specific benefits, including life insurance, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment, to which she would be entitled after a thirty-day waiting period. The letter also stated she that should “review the Employee Handbook for further information” and that the company retained the “right to change benefit programs at any time …” Immediately upon taking the job and receiving a copy of the employee handbook, the woman was dismayed to find that she would not be entitled to the full range of benefits received by full-time employees. Specifically, she would not receive life, AD&D, or long-term disability insurance. The woman complained to the Director of Human Resources about having been mislead regarding her benefits, and was terminated three days after starting on the job. The HR Director claimed that she was being terminated due to a confrontational personality and lack of a good fit with the culture of the company. She sued. What should the court decide? Why?
