Constructive dismissal

Constructive dismissal is the kind of employee dismissal that occurs when an employee feels that they have been forced to quit from their jobs because of the unfair behavior of the employer. The behavior that puts the employee in an untenable position and amounts to the breach of the employment contract by making significant changes to the job responsibilities or the worker’s arrangements like making them work for longer hours than decided, or reduction in the salary without notification or worker’s consent, or demotion etc.

Proving that such kind of a behavior took place is not easy as most of the employees leave the job right when they realize that the work environment is negative, before some breach has actually taken place. This gives the tribunal a reason to think that no heavy personal loss occurred due to the employer’s inappropriate behavior.
