S1E27 - Constructive Dismissal

A constructive dismissal occurs when an employee is forced to resign due to an employer’s unlawful behavior. Generally, only in the most serious of cases could the actions of the employer amount to a constructive dismissal. In this episode, we highlight some tips on constructive dismissal claims and if the claim succeeds, how much is due to the employee?

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• five questions to ask when considering whether an employee had constructively dismissed 
• what constitutes the ‘final straw' for a constructive dismissal? - Kaur v Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust 
• damages for wrongful dismissal
