Hi, I was verbally offered a job, a transfer within my current employment to another city (with no conditions other than a start date to be confirmed) which I verbally accepted. Four hours later I was contacted and advised that they could no longer offer me the position as HR had not cleared the offer.As it was only verbally done is this still a contract and if so are they in breach of that contract.
Already Tried: I had already informed my husband of the job so he went ahead and formally accepted his transfer within his own employment. I have spoke to my boss with a solution of a secondment however he did not seem to keen on this idea. The position is to be re-offered to all Applicants as a 1 year fixed term contract (from a perm full time position)
Hi Welcome to JustAnswer. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear
If they made an offer and accepted they cannot just withdraw this. They must either give you the job, or face a personal grievance claim. Your employer seems disorganised to me, and should be aware that you would act in reliance on the offer
The elements of a contract are offer and acceptance-verbal offers and acceptance are just as binding as a written offer.
