Add Comment Question: I was employed by this Company January 4, 2016 and up until now there have been no complaints about my work. As of the end of October, the Company will be in a shortage of work situation due to losing orders from a big customer. Now, the Company is trying to get me to agree to drop to part-time status because I work too slow and am tired all the time, likely because of my age. I've been given two options, part-time status or I resign and a refusal to lay me off. I am so stressed over this and the work environment now, that I am under my doctor's care for stress and panic attacks. Isn't this a form of wrongful dismissal? Answer: Thanks for your question. Yes, this would be considered a form of dismissal called constructive dismissal. I would strongly encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who can further discuss the matter with you. Also, please visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you may be owed (www.severancepaycalculator.com).
