You Deserve Respect and Fair Treatment at Work
Being pushed out of your job is stressful, confusing, and unfair. At Wildings, we understand how overwhelming it feels when your employer’s behaviour leaves you with no choice but to resign. Our expert team is dedicated to standing by your side, offering clear, compassionate, and practical legal support when you need it most.
What Is Constructive Dismissal?
- Constructive dismissal happens when your employer’s actions force you to resign – not because you want to, but because staying has become impossible. Under UK law, you may have a claim for constructive dismissal if:
Your employer has seriously breached your contract (for example, by cutting your pay, changing your hours, or failing to stop bullying or harassment). - You resign because of this breach, and not for another reason.
- You act quickly and don’t delay your resignation after the breach.
Common examples include:
- Sudden pay cuts or removal of benefits
- Demotion or unfair changes to your job role
- Persistent workplace bullying or harassment
- Ignoring grievances or failing to address serious complaints
- Unsafe or intolerable working conditions
If any of these situations sound familiar, please contact us as soon as possible. UK employment law has strict time limits for making a claim – typically just three months minus one day from the date of your resignation – so it’s important to act quickly.
What Should You Do Next? Act Fast – Protect Your Rights
Time is critical. You have just three months less one day from your resignation date to start your claim for constructive dismissal.
Here’s how to strengthen your claim:
- Contact Wildings’ employment law team immediately for a confidential, no-obligation consultation.
- Keep a record of all incidents, emails, and conversations relating to your employer’s conduct.
- Raise a formal grievance if possible, as this can support your case and maximise your compensation.
- Don’t delay your resignation after the breach; waiting too long could weaken your claim – but this can vary depending on your circumstances. Getting advice from a solicitor early is crucial to protect your rights and strengthen your case.
Our solicitors will guide you through every step, from your first call to a successful outcome.

Addressing Common Concerns
Constructive Dismissal FAQs
The compensation for a constructive dismissal claim can vary, but it often includes a basic award and a compensatory award for lost earnings, benefits, and future losses. To maximise your potential compensation, it’s essential to get tailored advice based on your situation. Our experienced team will assess your case and clearly explain what you could be entitled to – simply complete the enquiry form on this page to get started.
In most cases, you’ll need at least two years’ continuous service to claim constructive dismissal. However, there are important exceptions – particularly if your situation involves discrimination, whistleblowing, or certain breaches of statutory rights. The best way to know where you stand is to speak with one of our solicitors. Use the enquiry form on this page to check your eligibility confidentially and without obligation.
Not always. If your employer’s breach is serious enough, you may be entitled to resign immediately without working your notice period. However, the right approach depends on your specific situation – and making the wrong move could affect your claim. Contact us using the enquiry form on this page, and our expert team will advise you on the best course of action to protect your rights and maximise your compensation.
Workplace bullying is one of the most common reasons behind constructive dismissal claims. If you’ve experienced bullying, harassment, or discrimination at work, you don’t have to face it alone. These behaviours can amount to a serious breach of your employment rights. Contact us today using the enquiry form on this page – our experienced team will advise you on your options and help you take the next step.
Starting your claim is simple – just complete the enquiry form on this page. One of our employment law specialists will review your situation, explain your rights, and guide you through your next steps. There’s no obligation, just clear, expert advice to help you move forward with confidence.
