Constructive Unfair Dismissal and an employee's resignation:An employee terminating his employment without notice or even warning can be justified by an employer's behaviour that has led to a fundamental breakdown in the employment relationship, the employer's effective rebuttal of the employment contract, or one of the fundamental terms in it such as the implied duty of trust and confidence in the employment relationship. The breakdown in the employment relationship can happen over a period culminating in a 'last straw' in which the worker can take no more and leaves the workplace there and then. This will lead to the worker bringing a tribunal case on the grounds of constructive unfair dismissal. If the worker wins his case the employment relationship is then understood to have terminated unfairly. and the tribunal will make a finding of unfair dismissal. A numer of complaints can lead to the worker resigning because of constructive dismissal such as stressful conditions of work or favouritism in the workplace,discrimination or even sexual harassment and victimisation. An employment tribunal claim for constructive unfair dismissal has a time limit of 3 months from the last act complained of that served to undermine the employment relationship. | |
