Maybe not if he is a Contractor.

Even in such case contract usually has a clause about premature termination and related compensation.

  • Did you read the article? There was no premature termination here. He was “fired” exactly because his contract expired.

    It’s a shit situation and the company should have made him whole, but on ethical not legal grounds.

    • In many EU countries a contract does not actually end if you continue to show up to do work in mutual (implicit) agreement with the managers at the company you work for. It would constitute an implicit extension of the contract, effectively renewing it under the same terms for the same duration (with a maximum of 1 year IIRC).

    • By mistake therefore the employers is liable for breach of contract.

      You cant get out of "frustrating a contract" by saying its a mistake
