Hi,
I recently moved to Sydney (from North America) after securing employment here. I signed an employment contract with the employer (they signed it too) that included all the usual details (start date, salary, probationary period, notice, etc.) about a month before coming over.
A week before my start date was supposed to happen, I received an email saying that they are no longer able to take me on. I was wondering if there were any legal ramifications I am entitled to? The notice period in the contract was for 2 weeks, with a 6 month probationary period. It might also be worth noting I'm on a working holiday visa.
I've incurred travel expense and have moved my entire life here. I am feeling shocked as I quit my job abroad to come here.
Thanks for your help.
