Common use of Accepting Job Offer Clause in Contracts

Accepting Job Offer. An employee will be expected to provide a response by the next business day if s/he is offered a position that will not result in the employee needing to relocate his/her residence. An employee will be expected to reply within 48 hours of receiving a job offer request when accepting the offered position will result in the employee needing to relocate his/her residence. Under certain circumstances of hardship or operational needs, the supervisor offering the position may grant up to 72 hours for the employee to respond. Further, based on operational needs, an employee may be granted the use of a floating holiday or vacation day to assist in determining whether or not to accept a job offer. Failure to respond in the aforementioned time frame will cause the employee’s bid to forfeit. An employee who is scheduled to go on vacation is encouraged to voluntarily leave a phone number with his/her supervisor at which s/he can be reached if a job offer is extended. As an alternative, an employee may voluntarily leave his/her supervisor a prioritized list of vacancies s/he will accept if offered a position. This list will expire after the vacation period is ended. In no case will an employee be bypassed for an offer due to being on vacation. (Added 10-1-03)
