In some circumstances, an employee’s resignation may legally amount to a dismissal. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer makes continued employment intolerable, leaving the employee with no reasonable alternative but to resign.

Mashitisho Attorneys Inc assists employees in assessing and pursuing constructive dismissal claims and advises employers on preventing exposure to such claims.

Our services include:

• Assessing whether resignation qualifies as constructive dismissal
• Advising on evidence and legal risks
• CCMA referrals and representation
• Employer advisory services on grievances and workplace conduct

Constructive dismissal claims are complex and carry a high burden of proof. Incorrect handling can permanently prejudice a case.

Seek legal advice before resigning or responding to a claim.
