Add Comment Question: I am a hourly full time employee working 39 hours per week. Now my employer wants to cut 4 hours per week as they are reducing store open hours. I have been working for this company since 2005. Do I have chance for constructive dismissal Answer: The reduction in your working hours could amount to a constructive dismissal of your employment, triggering your severance entitlements. However, if you wish to take this position you will have to be prepared to effectively 'resign' from the company and no longer have a job there. You should definitely contact the number below to speak with one of our employment lawyers to discuss the situation further and assess your potential entitlements.
