Happy Hump Day! Yesterday (5/5) our recruiter made an offer yesterday to an employee in Wyoming per the operations managers request. Sent him the offer letter. Today, the operations manager calls and says he found out some bad stuff about this guy. He has threatened to sue former employers, invalid claims, and is an overall PITA. Ops Manager wants to rescind.
The first thing I looked at was the offer letter. It is a conditional offer, but of course the conditions are in the background check drug cream physical. Also, the offer letter was sent to him on May 5. And the recruiter put on May 5 deadline to sign.
He hasn’t signed so technically the offer has expired. But if it went anywhere further, I think an employment attorney could very easily argue that that amount of time wasn’t reasonable. Further, we don’t rescind offers based on an offer that are not being signed by the deadline like ever.
WWYD?
