How much does your employer have to reduce your salary for it to be considered a constructive dismissal? Is there a rule of thumb that applies or is every situation different?

Hi John,

Thank you for your question.

Generally speaking, it depends. However, I would argue that a drop of between 10-15% or more in overall remuneration would constitute constructive dismissal.

In order to be sure, it would help to know further specifics of your situation. If there has been a significant drop in salary, I recommend you contact our firm to schedule a free consultation!
