Facts

Sanchez (P) was employed by Life Care (D). P was issued an Employee Handbook at the time of her employment. P called her employer on July 20, 1990, a few months after employment to inform D that she could not come in the following day due to fatigue. P was told to forget coming in and was removed from the work schedule which effectively terminated her employment. The district court gave summary judgment to D holding that the Employee Handbook did not modify the at will status of P's employment and that promissory estoppel was not applicable to employment contracts. P appealed.
