What is Constructive Discharge?

A gap in this area leaves the opportunity for an employee to file a lawsuit! When an employee quits or resigns from a job because they were subjected to illegal working conditions that were so intolerable that they felt they had no other choice, it’s called a constructive discharge. Even though an employee quits, the law treats them as if they were fired, because the employer essentially forced them out. This can result in a lawsuit costing tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of manpower!
