Thanks Scott, just posted in the appropriate forum when I realised I'd put it in the wrong place!

Hi all, I'm new on here, mainly because I have a problem with my current employer and any advice would be useful! I was employed in April on a short term (6 month) contract with the understanding that the contract may be extended at the end of the term. Last week, I had a meeting with my manager where she informed me that they would not be extending my contract, despite being happy with my work and how I fitted in with the company and team. She has in fact interviewed someone that she had previously come across who wasn't able to take the job earlier and employed them into the role I am in. Her reason for doing this being that he has a different background to mine, despite the fact that I have been working the role more than adequately for the last 4 months. SHe has also informed me that my contract was sent out with the incorrect termination info on which states that both parties have to give 3 months notice of termination on the contract, when she says it should have stated a months notice. She has told me that as a 'gesture of goodwill' she will honour that 3 months notice period and wants me to finish at the end of August instead of September. My question is, that whilst I understand this was a short term contract, can she actually just end my contract without good reason, other than she's seen someone else and thinks they might be better? She has not even given me the opportunity to re-interview for the post. Consequently I'm feeling pretty hard done by!! Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!
