The constructive dismissal occurs when the employer modifies the conditions of the employment contract in a significant way, often over a period of time ranging from a few weeks to a few months, thus pushing the employee to leave his position . A constructive dismissal can occur, for example, if the employer lowers the employee’s salary, changes his status from employee to commission employee only, or vice versa, takes away from the employee tasks or responsibilities that are part of his job description, requires evening or night shifts when the employee has never done this type of shift, requires frequent trips when this was not the case before, etc. A constructive dismissal can also occur due to harassment in the workplace.The employee who is the victim of these maneuvers and who leaves his job is thus the victim of a constructive dismissal opening the door to a remedy for dismissal without just and sufficient cause against the employer based on section 124 Loi sur les normes du travail.
