I accepted a job offer through an email but I have not yet signed the contract. Is it possible to back out of the job.Under Michigan law, employers may not ask an applicant about a misdemeanor arrest that did not result in a conviction. Michigan is an "at will" state. Can you perform these essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation? Can my employer make overtime mandatory? I agree with a lot of the other posters that it is never too late to back out of accepting a job offer. But do it sooner rather than later. Michigan Legal Help has tools to fill many kinds of forms but we do not cover all areas. You may have a blank form that you need to fill out on your own.
