What Is Constructive Termination?

California law doesn’t always treat an employee’s resignation the same as if they quit their job in these situations. Workplace conditions and situations that are so terrible and unavoidable that the employee is forced to resign is considered a termination for legal purposes.

Constructive discharge laws hold employers accountable for creating working conditions so intolerable that an employee is forced to leave. Whether an employer’s actions constitute constructive discharge  can be an important factor in determining if that individual is entitled to additional compensation from their former employer.

Examples of Constructive Discharge 

It is illegal for employers to create a hostile work environment in order to force an employee to quit. Common examples of constructive discharge include:

• Discontinuing an older employee’s medical benefits
• Capping an employee’s  pay 
• Hostility in the form of a demotion to an undesirable position
• Downgrading an employee’s compensation and benefits
• An employee suddenly receives negative comments and reviews about their work
• An employee is denied lunch and rest breaks that other workers are allowed to take
• An employer reclassifies an employee as exempt or non-exempt in order to reduce their earning capacity
• An employee’s activity and job performance is being tracked and reported on by co-workers
