The rule about offer and acceptance concerning offers of work

[cojak]

But if they don't offer, you have nothing to accept.

So back to zero hours.

So he needs an employment lawyer to review his contract, not people on an Internet forum who are struggling to understand what he is trying to say since he jumps from facts straight into what his understanding of employment law, which seems muddled at best.

1.
Concerning the principle of ‘offer and acceptance’ of contract there is a difference between offering something and withdrawing something that we have already offered and has been accepted. It is like in the day to day life you are not forced to offer a gift to anyone and anyone is forced to accept it but if you offer it to someone and he accepts it and you change your mind and want it back he can refuse to give it back to you

2.
You say

“But if they don't offer, you have nothing to accept.

So back to zero hours”

The important point is that the casual workers were sent an email at the beginning of the project asking them if they accept to do the project but they were not sent an email at the end of every day of work asking them if they accepted to come the day after to carry on working on the project. Therefore we cannot say that every day of work was a separate offer of work so what was offered to me and accepted by me was a project

Window, if you want us to help you, please read our answers and try to learn from them rather than repeating your opinion of contract law. Until you are prepared to accept that your opinion of contract law is flawed, and that your opinion does not relate to employment law, you're never going to get an answer that you like.

So maybe to make it easier for you:
What do you want us to tell you? What will make you happy?
You're not wanting to hear the truth, so what are you wanting to hear?

You tell me that my opinion does not relate to employment law. It was the reply that I was expecting for a long time because you are the first to explain why you disagree with me. So the question is whether or not the principle of ‘offer and acceptance’ of contract law applies also to employment contracts? My opinion is why not after all it is not a contract of employment a contract like any other contract?

Ask an employment lawyer, they will explain it to you. It seems like your knowledge does not extend beyond the Carbolic Smoke Ball Company., that's why you need an employment lawyer to help. Not ACAS, not something you'll get legal aid for, and not something you can waste days/weeks/months on various internet forums trying to find a mystical answer that says what you want to hear.


I'm not sure if this forum is ever going to be of any help to you, perhaps, rather than focusing your energies on refusing to read and refusing to provide honest answers on here, you could better spend your time talking to an employment lawyer.
They will, of course, want to see your actual contract, not the abridged/annotated one that you are presenting here episodically.

And I'm closing this thread.

We are not your lawyers - pay someone to do your work for you.
