Add Comment Question: I have been working for the same employer full time, day shift for the last 8 years. If they ask me to work night shift instead of day shift trying to get rid of me, can I say "No" and still get severance pay if they fired me? Answer: Hello, It definitely sounds like you have been constructively dismissed from your employment. You do not have to accept this unilateral and fundamental change to your terms of employment. Upon a constructive dismissal, you are entitled to your severance entitlements. I would recommend calling our firm at your earliest to schedule a consult call with one of our lawyers to review your matter further and assess your entitlements.
