Add Comment Question: Can it be considered constructive dismissal when an employer arbitrarily decides to implement a new policy that terminates paid sick days for full-time salaried staff (in management)? Sick days were previously paid, but there is no written HR policy on the matter. Common practice has always been payment. Answer: Thank you for your question. While it will depend on the specific details of your case, generally speaking, a change like that will not be sufficient to rise to the level of a constructive dismissal.
