In Tennessee, employment is generally "at-will," meaning an employer can terminate an employee at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, with certain exceptions. However, rescinding a job offer after you've accepted it might have legal implications.
- If the job offer was in writing and you suffered financial loss due to the rescinded offer, you might have a claim for detrimental reliance.
- If the rescission was based on discrimination or retaliation, you might have grounds for a claim.
Do you have any evidence or documentation related to this job offer and its rescission?
Yes
It's good that you have evidence and documentation. Here are some steps you might consider:
