Asked on Mar 13th, 2016 on Employment Contracts - California
More details to this question:
I accepted an offer of employment with a start date that has passed. I am told the delay is with HR. If the offer is retracted should I be compensated for the time after the start date to the retraction date. I have turned down several offers and now I may have nothing.

In my experience most offers of employment are contingent. In other words they are usually conditioned on passing a background check or drug test or the like. However, if this was not the case and you have an unqualified offer of employment and in reliance have turned down other written offers of employment then you may have a claim for misrepresentation. It would be important for us to review the offer made to you in order to be more certain in our evaluation. Stephan Math Esq.
