Unfair constructive dismissal

I felt forced to resign from my job.  Can I make a claim against my employer?

If you felt forced to leave your job against your will because of your employer’s conduct, you may have a claim for constructive dismissal. You usually need to have worked for your employer for two years before you can make a claim for constructive dismissal.

The reasons for leaving you job must be serious.

Some of the reasons might be that your employer:

Did not pay you
Demoted you suddenly and for no reason
Forced you to accept unreasonable changes to your terms of employment
Allowed other employees to bully or harass you
Took away benefits such as a company car, for no reason
Forced you to work in unsafe conditions
Did not give you support that you needed to do your job
These reasons can be a one-off event that triggers your resignation or a pattern of events over a longer period.
