01-2615 Tremlett v. Aurora Health Care Inc., et al.

Listen to this article

Lori L. Tremlett appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Aurora Health Care, Inc. and Claudette Hamm, dismissing her claims for breach of contract, bad faith, promissory estoppel, and intentional interference with her employment and prospective career opportunities. Tremlett claims the trial court erred when it rejected her assertions that: (1) Aurora’s employee handbook and employment policies constituted a legally enforceable employment contract; (2) Aurora made an enforceable promise to her, which she reasonably relied upon to her detriment; (3) Aurora breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) Hamm improperly interfered with her employment relationship, and Aurora ratified such action; and (5) she was constructively discharged.

For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
