What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OHIO
Is there any legal action I can take against this company? ...I was offered a position with this company, I have all documentation in writing and also all email communications. I was asked to report to work 01/05/09. On 01/03/09 I received a call from the president stating that a deal they had been working on fell through and they could no longer afford to hire for this position. Since I had quit my current job for this one (with no way of returning to my previous job), and had no warning whatsoever... I am out of more than a months' salary already with more coming. He told me he had found this out 12/31/08, when I asked why he had not told me sooner, he stated it was a holiday... I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make up my salary at the very least since none of the documents stated anywhere that the position was contingent upon a deal with a new client- had I known that, I would have looked for a back-up plan and probably accepted the offer... Please help... THANKS
