According to contract, employees would be notified by a certain date if the contract would not be renewed, otherwise re-employment is considered automatic. Approximately a month and a half after that date passed, employees were notified thatcontracts were terminated (without cause). Employees were notified that they would be paid what is owed on current contract, but contracts would not be renewed. Is the company obligated to pay the employees as if the contracts were renewed because the notification was late?
