SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
I write specially to point out that Issue II (Employee Handbook), Issue III (Conversion of Salary),' and Issue V (Breach of Covenant Within Contract), are all included within Issue I dealing with breach of employment contract. Therefore, damages arising therefrom, if any, should be included in Issue I to prevent double recovery. Greenwood Ranches, 629 F.2d 518; Hoovestol, 479 N.W.2d 854.
I write specially on Issue VII, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, to point out that it includes reckless conduct resulting in emotional distress. Petersen v. Sioux Valley Hospital Ass’n, 491 N.W.2d 467, 469 (S.D.1992); Wangen v. Knudson, 428 N.W.2d 242, 246 (S.D.1988).
