Constructive Dismissal

Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns because their employer's conduct has fundamentally breached the terms of their employment contract. This breach can manifest in various ways, such as significant changes to working conditions, a reduction in salary, or creating a hostile work environment that makes it untenable for the employee to continue working. Unlike unfair dismissal, where the employer directly terminates the employee, constructive dismissal involves the employee feeling forced to resign due to the employer's actions.
