Question 13 (10 points John, a young high school graduate, applied for a job at Acme. As part of the hiring process he was not required to sign an employment contract, but was given a copy of the Acme handbook which stated that there were three reasons for possible loss of employment (poor performance, poor attendance or dishonesty). The job was offered to John and he accepted. After 18 months, John was fired without explanation. John had an excellent track record of performance, attendance and honesty. Is the following statement true or false: Although no employment was signed, a court might hold there to be an implied agreement (arising from the Acme handbook) that John's employment would only be terminated for reasons of poor performance, poor attendance or dishonesty.
