Accepting a team member who is slated to quit on the first day?












0














Context



So you as a Manager are expanding your team and recently signed a new promising team member(subordinate). After few weeks of signing the potential future employee comes back saying that he has another better offer and would not wish to join your company. Though he does leave you with 2 Options.




  1. One is to quit on the first day give a notice period of a Month as
    per the signed contract.

  2. If you agree then cancel the contract and not enter the job at all.


You work for a service based company where you need to introduce this employee to the client and get him billed through client or the company pays his salary till he is onboarded to the client.



Question



Should you accept the first option and make him work for a month teach him a lesson or you let me him go and start searching for another candidate already?

          Accept the second option. Saves you time, effort and money.



          Why waste his/her time as well?
