Employment Law: Employees > Constructive Dismissal
Constructive dismissal, a term well-known in Canadian employment law, refers to a situation where significant changes to an individual’s job or work environment compel them to leave their position. Such changes can encompass alterations in job functions, workplace harassment, or other discriminatory behaviors. Since 1975, Vice & Hunter LLP, a prominent law firm based in Ottawa, has been at the forefront of assisting individuals in fighting for just compensation following constructive dismissal cases, offering a customized legal approach to clients throughout Eastern Ontario.
Constructive Dismissal Explained
Constructive dismissal differs from traditional dismissal in that it doesn’t involve an overt termination by the employer. Instead, it arises when the employer introduces substantial and negative changes to the employment relationship, making it untenable for the employee to continue in their role. This could include alterations to job responsibilities, working conditions, or the introduction of harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
Vice & Hunter LLP understands the complexities inherent in constructive dismissal cases and emphasizes the need for individuals facing such situations to seek legal guidance promptly. Our firm’s seasoned employment lawyers understand the intricacies of Canadian employment law and have successfully represented clients in various industries for over four decades.
