In short Constructive Dismissal is a resignation which is deemed a dismissal and occurs when an employee is forced to resign due to a fundamental breach of the contract of employment by the employer as a result of their conduct. There must however be a significant breach, the resignation must be related to the conduct and the employee must resign quickly, otherwise, the employer may argue that by staying, the employee has accepted the conduct and treatment.
Not every breach of contract will entitle an employee to resign and claim constructive dismissal and it is important to distinguish between merely unreasonable conduct and a significant or repudiatory breach. Obviously, the concept of Constructive Dismissal raises the question: what sort of conduct by the employer entitles the employee to resign and claim unfair dismissal? Examples of Constructive Dismissal are as follows:
We would need to investigate any alleged breach very carefully and much will depend upon the particular facts and contract of employment. Please feel free to contact us for further advice based upon your own circumstances.
At Kiteleys we are always happy to help. We believe that the law should be easily accessible, so if you have any questions for our Employment solicitors, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
