Constructive Dismissal

In recruiter context

Common triggers: significant unilateral changes to pay, hours, or location; bullying or harassment unaddressed by management; demotion without just cause; sustained unsafe working conditions. Two requirements for a successful claim: the breach must be fundamental, and you must resign in response (not after months of staying). Two years' service typically required for tribunal eligibility. Most constructive dismissal cases are settled rather than litigated; tribunal success rate is 30-40% historically. If you suspect grounds, don't resign first — take Acas advice and consider raising a formal grievance to evidence the issue.
