Constructive Dismissal
Have you been forced to resign from your position not because you want to, but because the behaviour of your employer, whether intentional or not, pushed you out of the organization such as demoting you or reducing your salary without your consent? You may have been constructively dismissed.
A constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes a unilateral change to the fundamental terms of the employment agreement, whether by way of an action or in writing, that leads to working conditions being intolerable. Constructive dismissal does not look like an outright termination as it is the result of you quitting your employment because of the improper behaviour of the employer. Reach out to our team of lawyers today if you think you may have faced a constructive dismissal, preferably before you quit.
