Constructive dismissal: The end result of complaints, grievances and toxicity in the workplace
It has become quite routine for employers to simply dismiss a possible claim of constructive dismissal. This is because it is one of the more peculiar forms of dismissal claims and, statistically, a form of claim that does not easily find success at arbitration. In short, for an employee to succeed they must show that the resignation was because their continued employment had become intolerable at the instance of the employer.
