The Letter Withdrawing Offer Of Employment is a crucial document used when an employer needs to rescind a job offer that has been extended but not yet accepted, or in some cases, even after acceptance but before employment begins. Under Swiss law, this document must be handled with particular care due to the principles of good faith (Treu und Glauben) and potential pre-contractual liability. The letter needs to balance legal requirements with professional courtesy, typically including the reason for withdrawal (if appropriate), any compensation for expenses incurred by the candidate, and necessary legal disclaimers. This document is particularly important in situations where business circumstances have changed, discrepancies in candidate information have been discovered, or other valid business reasons necessitate the withdrawal of the offer. Given the potential legal implications under Swiss employment law, the content and timing of this letter are crucial for managing both legal risks and reputational impacts.
