Document background
This document is specifically designed for situations where a Job Offer Accepted And Then Declined scenario occurs under Irish employment law. It is used when a candidate who has formally accepted a job offer subsequently needs to withdraw their acceptance before the employment start date. The document provides a structured approach to communicating this decision while addressing potential legal and practical implications under Irish jurisdiction. It includes references to the original offer and acceptance, formal withdrawal statement, and handles any necessary administrative matters such as compensation returns or confidentiality obligations. This template is particularly important in Ireland where employment contracts are governed by both statutory law and common law principles, requiring careful attention to contractual obligations and potential remedies.
