Constructive Dismissal
If an employer is in breach of a fundamental term of a contract of employment, the employee is entitled to leave the employment immediately. Leaving employment in these circumstances is called ‘Constructive Dismissal’. This usually arises where the employer tries to implement major changes that have a fundamental effect on the employee’s contractual terms such as salary, job description, hours or place of work, and which justifies the employee resigning.

We can offer full support and advice on making any claim in the Employment Tribunal. We can assess your claim and give you advice at an early stage on the merits of the claim and whether or not your employer will have a good defence. We can also advise you on any proposals for settlement and will be happy to negotiate on your behalf.

We provide a full comprehensive ‘one-stop’ service. We have in-house advocates who can, if necessary, represent you at the Employment Tribunal or the Court should the matter proceed that far.
