Miller v. Schmid Laboratories, Inc. , 307 S.C. 140 ( 1992 )

Gregory, Chief Justice,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent. I adhere to the view expressed in my dissenting opinion in Small v. Springs Industries, Inc., 292 S.C. 481, 357 S.E. (2d) 452 (1987), that an employee handbook does not constitute a unilateral contract where there is an existing at-will employment agreement and no valid consideration is given in addition to mere continuation of the employment. I conclude Miller was not entitled to the requested charge defining a unilateral contract and would affirm the jury verdict in this case.

Acting Associate Justice Bruce Littlejohn concurs.
