Depending on what was done - will predicate how to correct...I would ask that they replace these as they should know how they were removed

the tuff part of it all is he no longer works with us. Is there any way around this?

You can try the install a test site procedure and apply you current DB to it as this should get all the files installed - unless when applying your current template and finding that this is where the changes were made but as this is admin side I doubt it.

Have they installed the Admin Profiles mod? If so, then maybe you just need to grant yourself permission to access that category of settings?
