The start date is part of the contractural offer, so you would be paid from that date, even if they hadn't remembered to order your work laptop etc... USA is very different. | |

| Jun 16, 2014 at 21:52 | comment | added | Dan | I think this would have a similar effect to the ultimatum. I think they likely wouldn't pay it, and a lawyer would quickly cost more than you could hope to gain. It would completely burn your bridge and use valuable time you should be dedicating to your job search. I think the best advice is to just move on. | |
