New Employer retracted offer day before start date
Hello,
My GF received an offer of employment signed by her and the hiring "Talent Specialist". They called her today to tell her that the job is no longer available. She had already put in her two weeks notice and they told her a day before she was supposed to start. Luckily her current employer was nice enough to put her on a probationary period for two weeks. We live in Michigan and with the "Right To Work" laws in place we don't know what to do.
The company that retracted the offer said they want her for another position but I see it being highly likely they will pull the same stunt again. If she does get another offer and she does accept it, we don't know if we can trust them to follow through with their side of the contract. If they don't and she puts in another two weeks notice to her current employer, there is no way they will let her come back.
If that happens she couldn't even get unemployment because of the two week resignation notice. Do you have any suggestions to keep the company true to their word if they offer another position? If they do offer another position and retract it again can that be considered fraud? Are there any worker rights laws to prevent this sort of thing? Could the contract be used as a case for unemployment if necessary?
I tried to find the answers online but my google fu is failing me today.
Sincerely,
Brandon Cook
