Constructive Dismissal Claims

Did You Resign or Are You Feeling Pressure to Quit Because Your Job Changed?
Depending on the circumstances, this is known as “constructive dismissal” and you have a legal right to make a claim against your employer.
Examples:
- Change of job duties or tasks
- Change of shift or work hours
- Change of job location
- Change of job conditions
- Unreasonable work demands
- Reduction or increase in responsibility
- Unproductive work environments
- A hostile or toxic workplace was allowed, created, or ignored
- Reduced salary, hourly pay, commission, or bonus
- Reduction of your benefits or pension
- Demotion
- Unwarranted discipline
- Loss of dignity
- Temporary laid off without a contractural right
- The terms of your employment changed without your consent
Even a single incident or change without your consent can support a constructive dismissal claim.

FAQs
Typically, in order to prove constructive dismissal in a case the employee must demonstrate that the employer made unilateral changes that resulted in a fundamental change to the employment, forcing the employee to resign. It is always best not to resign until you speak with an employment lawyer first so you can properly determine if the resignation is voluntary or involuntary.
Bullying and harassment in the workplace can be difficult to navigate and manage. Employees should make sure their employer knows about their grievances and ask for a resolution. Should a resolution not be reached, they should consult with a lawyer to seek compensation.
