Add Comment Question: My employer has given me 4 options to choose on terminating me in my current position within their organization. A deadline was set for Jan 1, 2015 to complete courses and tests to become a regulated Pharmacy Technician. The organization mandated that all Pharmacy Assistants in the organization would no longer be able to work if they did not meet the qualifications on regulation. The regulation process is a voluntary process and our current job does not change, the organization also stated they would not be in favour of a two tier system which would allow both Pharmacy Assistants & Pharmacy Technicians in their organization, their position is to go with a Hybrid model. Some Pharmacy assistants were successful on completing regulation courses, exams and tests and the employer did pay for some of the costs associated with regulation, but others were not and now their options are voluntary exit package, 6 month LOA to complete the courses, job vacancies are being held to assign you into a position of lesser salary and a demeaning position, or early retirement pkgs Is there grounds here for constructive dismissal ? Other organizations have introduced a 2 - tier model to allow or both Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacy Assistants to work within the organization. Answer: This may well be a case of constructive dismissal. The employer cannot unilaterally impose unreasonable conditions that were not part of the initial employment arrangement. If you are not able to get the certification, and your employer decides to let you go, then you would be owed full severance. This is a situation where you have to let your employer know your position/decision now. Therefore, we should speak before you do anything else.
