I got a job with a new company, signed the papers and was supposed to start working on Thursday. But just today they called me up and said that they don't want to hire me because they are doing some reorganization.
I mean is this legal, i.e. to reject a candidate even after both of us confirmed the position and signed the documents & I haven't worked a single day there?

A) If you have signed the papers confirming your willingness to join the company by a start date,
B) If the company had given you a letter of appointment confirming your appointment and the commencement date of your services,
C) If you have already resigned your present employment if any, duly after the receipt of your new appointment order and the company has selected and appointed someone in your place against your resignation
D) The new company has given anything in writing, confirming your appointment has been cancelled due to a valid and proper reason,
then you can take a legal recourse for complete compensation up to one year full wages with all other terms confirmed in the agreement made and signed by yourselves!

it particularly is the earnings of businesses having decreased in length team. If cuts might desire to be made then you fairly in simple terms do away with the decreased in length team. you're the two engaged on a self-employed foundation or, maximum ordinarily, for an employer. As you artwork for the employer that's diverse, contracts between the employer and business enterprise might nicely be cancelled at any time or replaced to have fewer/greater team. those words are an critical area of the settlement between the companies and businesses. Legally they have not taken care of the contractor like a 2d classification worker as they do no longer look to be an worker yet a contractor. Contractors are workers of the companies. in case you pick employer employment then that's a threat you're taking

Unfortunately, yes.
Lousy timing. While your starting the job was agreed upon, it looks like after this was said and done, they got the word. It happened to me.
Keep in touch. Maybe once the dust has settled, there may be something else available for you.If you were good enough at one time , may be you'll be good enough for a future opening.

A lot depends upon what the "papers" were that were signed. If it was a binding contract you could recover damages from them. However, you cannot force them to allow you to come to work for them. Show the papers to a lawyer and they could tell you if you have a claim.

Absolutely.
Did you quit another job to take this one? If yes, go ask your boss for your job back.
If no, then you aren't really out anything, are you?
The economy is tanking and many are going to be feeling the effects of "reorganization" soon enough.
I say, good riddance to bad rubbish.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe your next offer will be the job of your dreams.
Sorry this happened and good luck to you.

It depends on what state you are working in. I would check with my state website for fair employment information.

Yeah it's cold hearted for sure.
But certainly legal.
I'm sorry they did it to you. People are either psychopaths or don't realize that when they do stuff like this that they hurt other peoples lives.

Depends on....
A) the law of your Country / State / Province - and you didn't tell us where you are, and
B) the actual language of what you signed.
