Letīs say you have a job offer and a contract. Letīs say you are requested to show up for company intro on a date and that you receive a roster for the next three months. Letīs say just 3 days beforehand, you are told that a "negative reference" has resulted in the employer changing itīs mind and the job is no longer yours.
Isnīt it reasonable that the source and the (mis)information be made available for a response, defence, explanation, rebuttal or something? It seems like something out of the Middle Ages, that one can be accused by Mr Anonymous of a secret crime and have no chance of defence....and told that the pile of positive references are "probably friends of yours" and therefore value-less.....
...or am I being unreasonable? As this has been passed to the agency that recruited, although again without details, it impacts more than the actual job (good heads up, as I donīt think I would get on with people like this) not to mention saying no to a 2 month free-lance contract, as I was starting a permanent job!
Legal recourse? (UK)
