If his employment contract made 'at will' not a company option, they had no grounds to let him go. George may also win based on the fact of the unclear terminology and explanation of the multiple manuals. The grounds could be that the company made the documents purposefully vague in order to deceive employees.

The company has a good shot of winning for similar reasons. Based on the employment contract, was there an 'income producing' clause incorporated into the contract?

They certainly would have a difficult time justifying their action considering their own manuals created a scenario that allowed Mr. George to be classified as retired.

4. The underlying question that is not made clear in the description is whether Sally Sadly should have been at that convention and in that car. In other words, was she there under the instructions of the company? If so, was she doing anything illegal? What was the situation of the driver? Was he intoxicated or driving recklessly or doing anything else illegal? Although she was riding in the car, did Sally actually cause the accident? Were they having an illicit office relationship? This line of reasoning would all remove liability from the company, but if both parties were there for work and nothing sinister was going on, it looks as though the employer is liable and would probably have to pay......
