Constructive Dismissal Claims or Concerns

In Canada, the law allows an employee or executive to sue for “constructive dismissal.” Constructive dismissal occurs when the employee has not been formally terminated but their employment relationship or contract of employment has been altered or amended in a fundamental way without their consent (this can also include the existence of a toxic work environment in some circumstances). The alteration or change in the employment relationship must be a material change and not of an insignificant or minor nature.

In this case, an employee must prove that the change was material or that the change(s) to the employment relationship was such that it establishes that the Employer repudiated the employment contract or demonstrated that it no longer intends on honouring the underlying employment contract.

If an employee can prove that they were constructively dismissed, then the next step is determining how much notice and compensation/damages the employee is entitled to receive.
