Should I Resign If I’ve Been Constructively Terminated?
When an employee’s departure isn’t due to direct dismissal but rather the result of an employer’s actions or changes that significantly breach the employment contract, this is termed "constructively terminated". This form of termination arises when changes in employment conditions suggest an employer’s intention to deviate from the agreed-upon employment contract, often leaving employees uncertain if their situation qualifies as constructive termination, especially when they consider resigning instead of claiming their rightful severance.
