I am a 19 year employee. In 2012 i purchased 12% of the company shares. Do employee rights still apply to me? My bonus for 2015, was received in June of 22017, after I prodded the GM. I have made several queries regarding my 2016 and 2017 bonuses and have received misleading and non answers. I also think that they are trying to change the reporting structure for me. Is this a form of dismissal?

Being a shareholder does not mean you are no longer an employee.

Changes to your reporting structure, as well as other significant unilateral changes may in fact constitute what is know as a constructive dismissal.

However, this area of the law is complex and will depend on the particular facts of your situation.

We would need more information before advising you on your potential claim and entitlements.
