Constructive Dismissal
Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee is effectively forced to resign due to their employer's serious breaches of the employment contract. In this situation, the employer's actions make the working environment so intolerable that the employee feels they have no choice but to leave. While the employer does not directly terminate the employee, their actions are deemed a dismissal under the law.

The Reasons For Leaving Your Job Under Constructive Dismissal Must Be Serious.
Examples of such breaches include:
- Failure to pay you or suddenly demoting you without reason
- Forcing you to accept unreasonable changes to your working conditions, such as requiring you to work night shifts when your contract only specifies day work
- Allowing other employees to harass or bully you
These breaches can be one significant incident or a series of events that, when considered together, make the situation intolerable.
Before resigning, it’s important to attempt resolving the issue by discussing the dispute with your employer. This may help to address the concerns and avoid the need for resignation.
