Hiring

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

I had applied for a job. I previously worked for this company 2 years ago. They have a rule after you leave or are terminated you have to wait a full year to work for them again.
I interviewed and about 3 days later was called and told they wanted to hire me. I said yes and was told they would call me back with an offer. I recieved the offer and accepted. The next call i received was for Health screening and setting me up for orientation.
I did my health screening and was given a schedule for the following week for new hire training. Today I was called and told I cant have the job, that they went back and spoke with my previous manager who is at a different hospital, and she said no. I am not understanding of this. When I spoke with my previous manager last she told me I would have to wait a year to come back and also was given same answer by human resourse manager.
I have a paper from them and emails that state congratulations on accepting the off of employment, as well as emails of my starting time. Is this legal for them to tell me now that i am not going to be working there?

Nothing illegal has occurred. In fact, seems to me that YOU tried to pull a fast one by sneaking back in, so to speak.

just because they have a rule that at least 1 year must expire before being re-employed at the company, it does not mean they have to re-employ you. It appears that you received a bad review for whatever reason and they rescinded their offer.

you have no recourse.

First off I did not try to sneak back in as you so kindly put it. I still have my records from when I worked there the first time and they also had them. Secondly I only asked for advice to my question not your theory or thoughts on the matter, but thank you anyway for your oppinion.

When your previous manager was asked for her opinion of you, she gave it. They rescinded the offer because they obviously put great weight in that opinion.

You can't do anything unless you have evidence that not hiring you back constitutes a violation of Federal law. You've provided none.

Can they do this?

Yes, they can do this. They are not obligated to hire you. They do not owe you a job. They are free to rescind the offer.

I hope that this is now perfectly clear to you.

What contracts? If you're referring to your offer letter, in law, offer letters aren't contracts. If you're talking about something else, please explain what it is, as I can't see any reference to anything resembling a bona fide contract in any of your posts.

You sing a contract? Okay, Drs. McSteamy and McDreamy....me, me, me, me, me!

Since you don't believe anyone here, show up at the hospital, and we'll take bets on how long it takes for you to be escorted out.

really? I know several nurses quite well and none of them have ever signed a contract. I know a phlebotomist very well; again, no contract. A relative used to work for the billing offices; guess what, no contract.


the only people I am aware of that are signed to contracts would be staff doctors and high (very high) level admin.

Oh, you said singed. I'm sorry. I have never asked any of them if they had to sing for their pay.


never mind.

so, you have a letter of congratulations or welcoming and emails. Put those in a pile and set the contract that you and the hospital both signed that states the terms of your employment and walk into the office and tell them they are in breach of that contract and you will take action to enforce the contract.

Yeah, that's called the George Costanza (just showing up for a job that you really didn't get). On "Seinfeld" he showed up, (boss was out of town) got an office, pretended to work on the Pensky file. He lasted a whole week, as I recall.
