What to do when offer has been made and acccepted, then agent backtracks.
As you can all see, I am new to the forum, so HI! I have been contracting for a while and have never run into any issues until now. Not really too sure where I stand on this legally, so am hoping for some input from the people that know/have had a similar issue before.
A couple of days ago, I was made a formal offer by an agent (who acts as the payroll) for a 3 month rolling contract, which I accepted in writing. I have confirmation from the agent that I have accepted the offer and was been given a start date. Last night I received a phone call that the end client's HR had not actually signed off at their end becasue they do not feel they have the budget. So, the agent is now telling me that there is no work at the terms agreed.
A good friend of mine in the recruitment business thinks with all the things I have in writing I have a case to take to them and claim the three months at the rate agreed.
