Constructive dismissal is a situation in which an employee is forced to resign because of the employer’s conduct. This can include situations in which the employer makes the work environment intolerable, reduces the employee’s pay or hours, or demotes the employee. Constructive dismissal can also occur when the employer fires the employee for a reason that is not allowed by law, such as discrimination or retaliation. If an employee is forced to resign because of the employer’s conduct, the employee may have a claim for wrongful termination.
