What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? - North Carolina
Here are the facts of the case:
I was offered a job to my previous employer via a staffing company (completed interviews on site with gaining company, etc).
I left the company approximately 1 year ago under a mutual separation agreement, of which I am eligible for re-hire/employment in 6 months. This is now 1 year later.
Background check came back clean.
All paperwork went to HR and the gaining team/hiring manager/staffing company were expecting me to start.
The day before the start date I was informed HR had called the hiring manager and told him I was ineligible for re-hire.
I called my former HR manager and they verified that there is nothing in my HR records or files that would prevent me from returning to the company.
As it stands the offer of employment was rescinded due to false information from the HR department.
I have since opened a case with their HR department and have spoken to them frequently. However I do not feel that they are acting with any sense of urgency as I am very passionate about the job I would potentially be working.
My questions:
Am I entitled to an explanation of why I am supposedly ineligible for employment even though I have verified myself that I am?
Worst case scenario - am I entitled to any compensation due to the HR error on the company's part?
Thanks in advance!
