Background

The respondent was employed on a series of three-month fixed-term contracts as a Loss Control Assistant, renewed more than seven times. The last contract was disputed, but the respondent's signature was acknowledged. The appellant terminated the contract without three months' notice, leading to an arbitration award for reinstatement which the appellant appealed.
