Fail to work for a company after contract sign

[nader gamal]

Hi

I have a question regarding failing to work for a company after I sign a contract?

The issue is am having two interviews by next week and I expect that both companies will finalize the contract on same day of this last interview.

My question is what is the terms or my right if I found that the second job is better than the first one that I already signed for?

Is there any penalties and obligations known in Canada regarding this case, or just I can apology that I cant work for this company and that's it?

Regards

This is stated in the contract you are signing.

The only suggestion that I would give you is to not sign anything until you get both offers. You are always given a period of 24 hours to give your final answer, so if timing is as tight as you are suggesting you will have both offers at hand to make a decision.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Now the situation is there will be few days (more than 24 hours) between the two offers, what is your suggestion in this case?

Can you advise what is generally written in Canadian job contracts regarding this point so I will be having an idea.

Thanks.

Ask for more time.

It industry is a small world, you don't want bad reputation. Employers communicate between themselves. Believe it.

Depends from company to company and from position to position.
