What are the risks of rescinding an offer of employment?
HRCalifornia
Depending on the circumstances, there may be a lot of risk involved in rescinding a job offer to someone who has accepted and already given notice to a current employer.
Conditional and Firm Offers
Making an offer of employment to an applicant is a commitment to hire. You may make it contingent on other factors, such as successfully passing pre-employment drug testing and/or a criminal background check, but you should put these contingencies in writing. Employers also have the right to make an offer subject to the approval of others in the company.
