When making a job offer, the employer should understand that once the candidate has accepted the offer, a binding contract of employment is formed and this can include terms that have been verbally agreed. Therefore, the employer should ensure that the terms and conditions are clear.
Job offers can be made conditional on receipt of satisfactory references.
Employers should ensure that they understand and comply with the relevant provisions of the Equality Act 2010 if making job offers conditional on medical checks.
