I was verbally offered full time employment with my current employer. The day before I was to begin my full time shift, the person I was replacing was talked into staying and I was informed I would not get the job. Do I have any legal recourse?

Under Louisiana law, no. A verbal offer of employment is an offer of at-will employment. The employer was free to withdraw the offer. The foregoing is intended as legal information concerning the question asked, but is not intended as legal advice upon which the requesting party may rely in guiding their actions. Rather, the requesting party should consult an attorney for a personal consultation and advice for a full consideration of their situation and rendition of legal advice.
