# JOB OFFER WITHDRAWAL LETTER
Date: 22 September 2031
Parties: Northbank Digital Limited and Priya Mehta
## 1. Purpose and parties
Northbank Digital Limited offered Priya Mehta the permanent role of Product Compliance Manager on 2 September 2031, with a proposed start date of 4 October 2031 and a salary of £62,400 per year. The offer letter stated expressly that employment would begin only after satisfactory right-to-work verification, references and a signed contract.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
On 15 September 2031 Priya supplied a share-code result that expired before the proposed start date and did not establish a continuing right to work in the United Kingdom. Northbank asked her on 16 September for the current immigration document or a new Home Office share code by 20 September; no qualifying evidence was received by that deadline.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Priya told Northbank on 19 September that an application for further leave was pending, but she supplied no evidence of a qualifying in-time application. Northbank submitted an Employer Checking Service request on 20 September; the Home Office returned a negative verification on 21 September because no qualifying in-time application was recorded. Northbank therefore decided not to commence employment and to withdraw the conditional offer, without treating the mere pending assertion as proof that Priya had no right to work.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Before making the decision, HR Director Amelia Shaw spoke with Priya by telephone on 17 September and invited a written explanation by 20 September. The compliance manager reviewed her reply, the negative Employer Checking Service result and the express offer condition, then approved withdrawal on 22 September. The decision was based on that verification outcome, not on Priya's nationality, race, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy or any other protected characteristic.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
This letter confirms that no employment has started, no notice period is owed, and the proposed salary and start date are cancelled. Northbank will reimburse Priya's evidenced £184.60 travel and document-certification expense within 14 days, although it will not pay salary, compensation for future work or a substitute notice payment. Her personal data will be retained securely for six months under the recruitment retention policy.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
Priya may ask for a review by the People Director, Marcus Bell, within seven days of receipt and may provide evidence of a qualifying in-time application or a valid Home Office document. A review will not extend the withdrawn offer or guarantee a role, but Northbank will correct an administrative error and reconsider the verification outcome if reliable evidence warrants that step.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional letter is dated 22 September 2031 and is governed by England and Wales law. It is not an admission of discrimination or a finding of dishonesty, and nothing in it limits any statutory right. Northbank sends it by email and recorded post, keeps the offer, check result, correspondence and expense receipts, and asks Priya to acknowledge receipt.
