Add Comment Question: demoted effective immediately with no cause. I believe they are trying to force me to quit. They refuse to provide me with written reason for being demoted. Answer: Hi there, A unilateral demotion can form the basis for a constructive dismissal claim. In other words, because your employer has unilaterally altered the terms of your employment, you may have the ability to assert that they have violated the employment agreement in such a fundamental way that is constitutes a termination. In order to assess the strength of your case and what your entitlements are, we would need more information including: your position, years of service, and the impact of the demotion.
