An advert I replied to gave the salary as £xx,212, I got the job and the written offer of employment specified the salary at £xx,000.

Now, I'm not going to kick up a big fuss over 212 quid over a year, I'm just wondering where a potential employee would stand if the difference was significant and worth fighting over? Advert says £40,000, the company offer £20,000, that's worth a pissing match over.

Can the employee put any stock in what the advert said or is it all in the offer?

I suspect the advert means nothing, just interested to know really, I'm not going to rock the boat.
