So what is the contract here? You would think the answer to OP's question would be obvious to her if there was a contract.[/quote]

First PP who said there is a contract.  As I said before, contracts don't always spell out everything.  Maybe her contract doesn't cover this issue.  Maybe it does.  If it does, it is likely to be spelled out in her benefits package.  But, even if the contract is silent on this issue, it doesn't mean there isn't a contract.  It just means the contract does not specify the rights of the parties as it pertains to this issue.  [/quote]

Companies/firms can unilaterally change their policies (at least in my state). That isn't how a contract works. [/quote]

They cannot do it retroactively.  In other words, if you have accrued a benefit based on your performance of an agreed upon service, that benefit cannot be taken away retroactively.  It can be withdrawn going forward and then you have the right to either agree or quit your job.  If you agree and continue to work at your job, you have a new contract.  [/quote]

Again, how does this apply to OP?  She says the handbook is silent. [/quote]
