Constructive Dismissal: Understanding Your Rights and Legal Remedies in the UK

Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns due to their employer’s breach of contract, making their continued employment untenable. This legal concept addresses situations where an employer’s actions or inactions create a hostile or unbearable working environment, such as significant pay cuts, demotions without justification, or a failure to address workplace harassment. In the UK, employees claiming constructive dismissal must prove that the employer’s conduct fundamentally breached their employment contract and that they resigned promptly as a result. This subcluster provides in-depth guides on identifying constructive dismissal, navigating the legal process, gathering evidence, and seeking remedies through tribunals or settlements. It equips employees with the knowledge to protect their rights in challenging workplace situations.
