قبول عرض وظيفي جديد بعد قبول آخر وتوقيعه
مرحبًا،
أعيش في دبي وتلقيت خطاب عرض وظيفي من صاحب عمل جديد. وخلال مرحلة إلغاء تأشيرة العمل الحالية، تلقيت عرض أفضل من شركة أخرى.
والآن، هل يجب عليّ الانضمام إلى الشركة الأولى التي تلقيت منها عرض العمل وقمت بتوقيعه، أم يمكنني قبول العرض الآخر؟
Dear Questioner,
Please note that signing as accepting an offer letter is legally considered as accepting the employment offer. So, it can be considered as a contract in theory.
However, I cannot really give you a solid answer before seeing such a document how it is structured, and what kind and limits of liability you have agreed to.
In practice, such letters and initial agreements can be withdrawn if the new company (XYZ) take the withdrawal and do nothing about it.
In some cases, such withdrawals can have a great effect on such companies like for example in the case that they have terminated someone else or affected a replacement plan based on such acceptance you made.
The company has the right to claim compensation for such damages in this case if they are able to provide a proof. Such case will be a civil case and will not fall under the labour court jurisdiction.
If you wish that we examine the offer letter you signed please get in touch with me through aelnaggar@lkmbgroup.com
