Q: Verbal Job Offer

A: You have not asked a question. I will assume you want to know whether the employer did anything wrong. The answer is no.

Even if the written contract had been signed, the employer has the right to change the terms and conditions of employment, including whether you can be or stay employed, at any time and for any reason or even no reason at all. That is the nature of at will employment. An employer can pull a job offer whenever it wishes to do so.

That said there are a few very narrow exceptions that could apply under unique facts. If you can prove you accepted an unequivocal job offer in the manner called for by the offer, and if you could prove you materially changed your position in reliance on the accepted job offer, then the concept of estoppel may be available. You do not state facts that might implicate that theory.

It would be wise to have an attorney take a look at your specific situation. However, please do not get excited about the prospects of you have a meritorious legal claim.

Good luck to you.

A: There is a lot not said that would need to be known to give you a solid answer. You should sit down with an employment attorney and go over all the facts so they can determine what rights you might have.

A: contact a labor/employment lawyer.

however, you are talking about an AT WILL job.

you could walk away and the employer could too.

unless the job involved driving and you were in an At Fault Accident, I don't understand the facts.
