What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan, staffing agency is out of California.
I was offered a position for a position in Michigan, by a staffing agency out of California. The position is considered full-time, work from home, however is an event coordinator position (planning and executing events). The compensation includes a benefits stipend, and $75/month cell phone/data allowance, and wages. I was required to do a background check, and was instructed to select "Drive For Work" as a requirement of the position. I did so and was later contacted from the agency that they were rescinding my offer because of my driving record (speeding tickets, no DUI, accidents, etc.). I re-read the job description and it states that the person is required to have "Environment: Must have valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and computer and Internet access. Must be available to work non-traditional hours such as late nights and weekends."
I read (in a blog) that for a job/position to be considered "Drive For Work" a company car must be issued OR the employee is compensated for using their own vehicle. Of which, they are doing neither...
Writing to find out if that's correct/rescinding my offer is legal?
Thanks much in advance.
