Constructive dismissal involves a situation where an employees working environment is made so unpleasant and oppressive that the employee is essentially forced to resign. Employees have a right to a working environment that is free from abusive treatment and unreasonable stress. When an employee resigns because the workplace has become unbearable, that employee is not considered to have resigned of their own volition. Rather, it is deemed constructive dismissal and it gives rise to a compensation claim that can be brought before the Employment Tribunal.

One of the most common situations in which constructive dismissal occurs is when an employer significantly alters the employees job description. The employee finds themselves having to perform tasks which were not included in the original agreement when they took the job. In some situations, the employer makes changes to the job description which actually prevents the employee from being able to carry out their work.
An employee who finds themselves in this situation is well-advised to resign immediately upon the changes having been made. Your claim loses strength the longer you continue to work under the changes. However, before you resign, you should seek the counsel of an experienced employment law solicitor who can advise you on the proper course of action. Another way to strengthen your claim is to first file an official grievance, which gives the employer an opportunity to rectify the problem.

The ultimate success of your constructive dismissal claim will depend in large part on the strength of the evidence you are able to provide. If you believe you are being victimised in the workplace, keep careful notes of the abusive incidents. If you have any physical evidence, such emails or memos, retain these as well. Also, take note of any potential witnesses to the abusive incidents.
