Constructive Dismissal Guidance

Kedge Anchor Law | Constructive Dismissal Guidance

Did You Resign, Or Were You Left With No Reasonable Choice?

A resignation after a demotion, pay cut, major role change, or other significant workplace change may not always be as voluntary as it appears.

01

Not Every Resignation Should Be Viewed At Face Value

When an employee resigns following a substantial change to the terms of employment, the circumstances may require careful legal consideration.

Significant workplace changes can create legal risk if not managed appropriately, and employees should understand that resigning after such changes may not always end the legal analysis.
