  • Permanent role contract signed - new offer received - can I cancel?

    Hello. I have recently got a new job and I have already signed the permanent employment contract. The start date has been set to November. I have then received a much better offer. Can I just cancel the current contract and go for the better job without any consequences? Thanks!

    (I know it's not very professional, and I have rejected that other interview firstly. But then that offer came back to me couple of times and in the end I really would prefer to work for those other guys. So I'm willing to go against my principles here and be unprofessional for the sake of working somewhere I REALLY want to work at)

      Have you checked the notice period on the contract you have signed? I would think that if you give them written notice now and are within the notice period, then you'd legally be fine. So if it's a month's notice, you could give them written notice now for the end of October.

        As you have signed the contract, you cannot just cancel it but I believe that you can give notice you will not be starting in accordance with the contract. If you were subject to a probationary period then that will be the applicable notice to give.
        If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com

        I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
        If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.

          The notice period is 1 month I believe, so I should be OK.

          Many thanks for your advice, much appreciated!
