The Job Offer Rescinded Letter is a crucial document used when an employer needs to formally withdraw a job offer that has been previously extended but not yet accepted, or where circumstances necessitate withdrawal before employment begins. This document, governed by Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, requires careful drafting to address potential legal implications under the culpa in contrahendo doctrine and principles of good faith in business dealings. The letter should include clear identification of parties, reference to the original offer, unambiguous statement of rescission, legal basis for the decision, and any necessary provisions for expense reimbursement or document return. It's essential in situations where changed business circumstances, discovery of new information, or other valid reasons require the withdrawal of an offer, and must be handled with appropriate legal consideration to minimize potential liability.
