Hi, hope you can help me, i will try and keep this short. Went back to a company (i was working for for 12 years earlier) on 18th August 2014 on a six month contract. This was to end 13th February 2015. My manager told me on the 13th that i was to be kept on for another 6 months. So thought great. Now come this Friday 20th Feb at 4.00pm, my manager and his manager sent for me to tell me that my employment has ended. No real explanation as to the circumstances, just the usual bull of my work is excellent but we dont need you anymore. By 4.15pm is was on my way out the door. Me and my manager are totally shocked.
As my contract is set out for those dates and on page 2 under Notice of Termination it says "during this temporary assignment either party may terminate employment for any reason with one weeks notice. I have not been given a weeks notice.
So by the dates and times that I have given I did not receive one weeks notice ,only just 1/2 hr !!!!!!
Do I have any just cause to seek further advice on a case of unfair dismissal ?

many thanks for your help in this.
