Can the information on the pages that were not initialed be used against the employee?
Full Question:
If a document states that an employee will read each page and that each page will be initialed and the last page will be signed showing that the employee understands these rules and agrees to adhere to them. Now, the last page has been signed but two of the four pages were not initialed. Can the information on the pages that were not initialed be used against the employee? What if this document has not been signed? Shouldn't it be signed to make it legal?

Answer:
Whether the document is signed or not is a matter of proof against future claims. An employer's policies typically don't have the same force as state law and aren't even required to be written down and agreed to, it is just a way for an employer to protect themselves from lawsuits. Most employees are at-will employees who can be terminated for any reason, or no reason, as long as it's not discriminatory.
