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.

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.
