Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an employee breaches a fixed-term employment contract by quitting before the end of the term, the employer can recover the costs of hiring a replacement employee plus any increase in salary paid to the replacement employee. This is because the employer has suffered a loss due to the employee's breach and is entitled to be compensated for that loss. The other options are not applicable because courts cannot order anyone to perform a job against their will (A), and the amounts paid to the employee for work already done cannot be recovered (B) or are not considered a loss (C).
