Constructive Dismissal Lawyer in Calgary

Recognizing Your Legal Rights

You don't have to be "fired" to be entitled to severance. In Alberta, a constructive dismissal occurs when your employer unilaterally changes a fundamental term of your employment agreement, or creates an environment so toxic you are effectively forced to resign.

Common examples include significant salary reductions, a demotion to a role with less responsibility, or forced relocation. If you are experiencing these changes, do not resign until you have spoken with a lawyer—resigning too early could jeopardize your right to a full severance package.
