this video I want to take a look at the withdrawal of a job offer
obviously I'm making this video during the covert 19 situation and a lot of job
offers in a lot of job situations and circumstances employment situations and
circumstances has changed significantly
and I have come across a few cases where a job offer has been withdrawn this
obviously is something that I come across regularly enough in any event
never mind about the covert 19 situation those two situations does exist normally
one is where a job offer is made by an employer to an employee and the employee
has at that point perhaps left another job with a view to taking up this job
but hasn't signed the contract the principles of offer and acceptance in
contractual or contract law apply and therefore if the employee has not
accepted the offer of employment then there's no binding contract in place and
the employer can withdraw the offer the second situation which exists is where
the offer has been made by the employer the employee accepts the offer and then
the employer for one reason or another decides that he cannot go ahead with the
situation cannot go ahead with the employment it may be because of
circumstances have changed it may be to do any number of things in that
situation you have a binding contract in place or unfortunately the employee
never gets off the ground in so far as the employment is actually concerned
regarding the work to be carried out however if there is an offer of the
contract of employment and if - offer has been accepted by the employee or
there's a binding contract in place that's not to say that the contract
cannot be terminators it can what must be terminators in accordance with the
terms of the contract now most contracts will quite frankly
make probation for a notice or for a probation period and during that
probation period the nord has created generally would be one week if that's
the case then unfortunately the likelihood is that the employee souls
for breach of contract he or she is only entitled to the normans period which is
one reads wages on the other hand the contract may be drafted in such a way
that regardless of probation or not regardless of when the employee or how
much the how long the employee has been in the job perhaps there's a month or
two months or three months normos required in that situation the
employee could sue for breach of contract and the breach of contract
would be essentially that the notice period provided for the contract is a
month or two months or three months or whatever and that hasn't been given if
that's the case then it's open to the employee to sue for breach of contract
and so for a payment really for the in accordance with the contract these are
the the notice period so that's the situation in relation to withdrawing a
job offer now there's one other situation there that might come up it's
difficult to prove but that is that somebody has been offered a job and the
job is then withdrawn or job offers withdrawn and the reason for the
withdrawal of the job offer even though it hasn't been accepted or husband
accepted it just makes any difference the reason for the withdrawal is on a
discriminatory ground if that's the case we'll then the employee whether he or
she has accepted the offer or not could bring it to him for one of the
employment equality as I think it is 1998 for discrimination and would
probably succeed and that is an unusual case insofar as the employee has never
worked for the employer has never become an employee of the employer because the
job offer the employment offer has been withdrawn
unless the employee still has the protection of the employment law in
Ireland and can bring a claim for a discrimination based breach of
employment rates hope you find this video useful if you do I would
