Constructive dismissal is where you have not been directly dismissed but where your contract of employment has been fundamentally breached by your employer and as a result, you resign.

Some key points to remember are:

• You will need to have two years of continuous employment to bring a claim, although there are some limited exceptions to this rule
• These types of claims are not straightforward as there are various matters you will need to establish to be successful in the claim
• It may be preferential to pursue a settlement agreement as an alternative to making a claim
• It is recommended that you take professional advice before resigning from your employment.
