Add Comment Question: My daughter was told on a Friday that commencing the following Monday her hours would be cut down from a 5 day/ 35 hr wk to to a 2 day week(due to lack of work even though they hired a manager to which took all her workload). Another option was severance pay (at the time unknown what was to be offered), She has been with the company full time for almost 2 years. She advised them that she would take the severance package as she couldn't afford to live on 2 days/week pay and no benefits. She received her severance package with only to 2 weeks benefits. I feel that this is constructive dismissal and that the company took advantage of her being young and not knowing the laws (she is currently 21).
