Which doctrine is likely to be included in an employee handbook?

Respondeat superior is a legal doctrine that holds an employer liable for the actions of an employee performed within the course of their employment. While important in understanding employer liability, it is less relevant for direct employee relations and typically does not need to be explicitly stated in an employee handbook.

The implied covenant of good faith suggests that parties to a contract will deal with each other honestly and fairly. However, this doctrine is not universally recognized and is not a fundamental principle of employment law like employment-at-will, making it less likely to be included in an employee handbook.

The statute of frauds is a legal concept requiring certain contracts to be in writing to be enforceable. This statute is more applicable to specific types of contracts and transactions rather than employee-employer relationships, thus it is not typically included in employee handbooks.
