Can an employment solicitor help me claim constructive dismissal?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

An employment solicitor can assess whether your employer may have committed a serious breach of contract, such as a substantial pay cut, harassment or a fundamental change to your role. Constructive dismissal usually involves resigning because of that breach, but the legal test is fact-specific and resigning too soon or continuing to work for too long may affect a claim. Consider taking advice from a solicitor regulated by the SRA before resigning, and keep records of events and any grievance. Employment Tribunal claims usually have a short time limit, commonly three months less one day, with ACAS Early Conciliation required first.
