More details to this question:
A 40-50 employee company has written employee manual with rules, policies, procedures. Do any addendum's and changes to this manual need to be in writing or can verbal changes be made at will by employer?

It depends. Owners generally can get away with many things, unless there is a contract issue or a discrimination issue.

I do not know what this is: "A 40-50 employee company " The employer may change the handbook any time. It is their document, and no contractual relationship arises from the hand book in most states. If you are not in GA, you should resubmit your question and identify which state, since the law varies from state to state.

Probably, if there is a disclaimer in the manual, but an attorney would need to review the manual and all information to be certain.
