What constitutes constructive dismissal?

Constructive dismissal is when you feel the need to resign because there has been a fundamental breach of your contract of employment. Some examples include the following:

  • Your employer has failed to pay you
  • Refusal to provide you with work
  • You’ve been demoted with no justification
  • Your employer has removed contractual benefits you are entitled to
  • Changes have been made to your contract without your visibility or permission/consultation
