Add Comment Question: I have been employed with a company for over 30 years and was told by my boss, that my office in my city is being closed down in a month due to cost cutting measures and that I would have to commute 5 days a week over 200 kms per day to another city to work. I do not want to do this due to the cost and extra time taken to travel. Am I not entitled to say no and received some sort of compensation package due to a constructive dismissal? Answer: Yes, requiring you to commute an extra 100 kms each way likely constitutes a constructive dismissal such that you will be entitled to severance pay. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you recover a fair severance package.
