my employer has announced to customers and staff that I am moving into a new position but has yet to notify me of the change. I am not sure the details of the new position or how that will affect my family life, so I am afraid of what might happen if I am forced to turn it down.

Thank you for your question. As soon as you receive further details I would strongly encourage you to call us and set up a consultation. If the new position represents a fundamental change to your employment you would be entitled to claim constructive dismissal and receive severance. I would strongly encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage to you review a recent article our firm has written which explains constructive dismissal in further detail (https://stlawyers.ca/constructive-dismissal-resignation-severance/).
