What is Constructive Dismissal?

As a general rule, employees who quit their employment are not entitled to compensation from their employer. However the exception to this general rule is where an employee quits because their employer unilaterally and fundamentally changed the conditions of employment. The law classifies such situations as a ‘constructive dismissal’. In other words, the employer did not directly dismiss the employee but the employer changed the job so completely that the employment contract was effectively at an end.
