Constructive Dismissal Claims
Protecting your rights when unilateral changes to your job force you out of your employment.
Has Your Employer Unilaterally Changed Your Job?
Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes a fundamental, unilateral change to the terms of your employment contract without your consent, or creates a toxic work environment that effectively forces you to resign.
Common Examples of Constructive Dismissal
- Significant reduction in salary, commission, or total compensation.
- Demotion in title, reporting structure, or core job responsibilities.
- Unilateral geographic relocation or forced shift changes.
- Unaddressed workplace harassment or toxic work environments.
Strategic Guidance Before Resigning
Claiming constructive dismissal is legally nuanced. Resigning prematurely can compromise your legal remedies. We advise employees on strategic steps to document changes and protect their rights prior to resigning.
