Constructive Dismissal

Constructive Dismissal

Our Employment Law Solicitors are experts in identifying when an employee is entitled to claim constructive unfair dismissal, assisting in resolving work place disputes and pursuing claims for compensation in consequence of a constructive dismissal.

Constructive dismissal is when an employee resigns from their job because of the employer’s conduct. The employee will have to show that their employer breached an important term (express or implied) of the contract of employment and that they resigned promptly as a result.  Resignation is normally an irreversible step, and should only be taken with careful consideration and preferably with the benefit of expert advice.

A few examples of when an employer breaches an important clause of the contract include:

• Not paying wages,
• Demoting the employee without reason or notice,
• Unreasonably changing job content or hours of work,
• Discriminating against the employee, or
• Allowing a situation in which other employees harass or bully the employee.
