Not sure if you could help me with this enquiry. I was offered a position verbally (at the end of the interview, salary and start was agreed at this point). From then I have contact the company on numberous occasions with out successful and I have found out today they have employed somebody else? Does a contact stand even thou it was verbal? Karen |

As far as I know, a verbal contract is not binding in England. Dissapointing and annoying for you though.

Karen, Not a good position to be in. Zoe is wrong, to an extent - a verbal contract is legally binding, but the trouble you will have is proving its existance - hence thats why contract should always be in writting - the proof. The link to the ACAS site details more http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=817 The main thing for the contract to be binding is if there was a clear Offer, and then a clear Acceptance of that offer by you. From what you say it would appear that has happened - Was the offer at the end a firm offer? ie' We would like to offer you the job for £x - what do you say? etc, something along those lines. If not, then if may not be an offer. This is not an employment issue but covered by contract law, and thus would have to sue for breach of contract. Good luck. Adrian |
