Constructive Dismissal Solicitors
Constructive dismissal is a complex legal concept that arises when an employer breaches the employment contract in such a way that it forces the employee to resign. In these cases, the breach is considered a ‘fundamental breach’ of the contract, and it provides the employee with a legitimate reason to leave their job. At Barrett and Co solicitors, we specialise in helping employees navigate the intricacies of constructive dismissal claims.
Key Triggers for Constructive Dismissal
There are several scenarios in which an employee may have grounds to claim constructive unfair dismissal. These situations can vary widely but typically involve the employer’s actions violating the terms and conditions of the employment contract. Here are some common examples:
Pay Reductions or Non-Payment
If your employer significantly reduces your pay without your agreement or fails to pay you at all, it may constitute a fundamental breach of your employment contract.
Unapproved Changes in Work Locations or Hours
Your employer cannot arbitrarily change your work location or working hours without consulting with you first. Such changes, if imposed without your consent, may be considered a breach of contract.
Unjustified Demotion
A demotion without a valid reason, or without proper procedures, can be grounds for a constructive dismissal claim.
False Accusations of Poor Performance
If your employer makes baseless allegations of poor performance and uses them as a pretext for adverse actions, this could constitute a breach of your contract.
Unreasonable Changes to Your Role
Employers should not make significant, unreasonable changes to your job role without proper consultation. If they do so, you may have a valid claim for constructive dismissal.
