    Hi

    It all depends on the nature of his contract, how long he's worked for the company and what his job is. I suggest (if you are UK based and it sounds as though you are) that you check his rights with the Citizens' Advice Bureau or ACAS. Both will give useful advice. Good luck. Employers these days are getting worse and greedier too!
