What constructive dismissal involves

Constructive dismissal claims argue that your employer’s conduct amounted to a fundamental breach of contract, leading you to resign. These claims are fact-heavy and can overlap with discrimination or whistleblowing.

Evidence

Emails, policies, medical notes, and witness accounts may matter. If you are negotiating a settlement, summarise key events for your adviser early.

Exit packages

Employers sometimes prefer settlement to a disputed resignation and tribunal path. Negotiation may cover notice, payment, and wording on references.
