Dear questioner,

Once an employment contract/offer is signed by both the employer and the employee, it becomes legally enforceable.

We are unsure whether you are referring to the employment contract or simply the offer letter.

In the case that you have not signed a contract, there may be no legal liability on your behalf. However, if you have signed a letter/agreement, then the employer may pursue a legal claim against you.

It would be best if you provide us with the exact document you have "accepted" so we may offer more accurate advice.

Kind Regards,
