We believe this case won't have as big an impact as some people fear. We won't see lots of these cases, because the amount of damages employees are entitled to in wrongful demotion cases will be limited to their lost pay. When most companies demote employees, they don't cut their pay, so the employees don't have huge losses. Most attorneys who represent employees won't want to take these cases on a contingency fee basis. Most private sector companies explicitly state that their handbooks are not contracts.
