This page explains the constructive dismissal concept in plain English, including common evidence and timing points.
What this claim type usually means
Constructive dismissal is generally argued where someone resigns and says a serious employer breach made continued employment untenable.

Usual deadline issues
Time limits are often strict and fact-sensitive. Date chronology and ACAS timing can materially affect how a case proceeds.
