>>Managers usually have the authority to bind the company to an employment contract

Is that an American thing? I've been a manager for years and never heard of that happening. I didn't even know how much the people I managed were paid.

I believe it happens more often in Canada. Here's a case where the RTO ultimatum was ruled constructive dismissal, because the manager made a verbal agreement to amend the terms of employment.
