I was injured at another employer, and my current employer did not give me modified citing shortage of hours. I did not get laid off and when I was cleared to work there was another month with me thinking I had no work there so I found another job. In the mean time I was asked by new boss if I was still interested in coming back (a month after being cleared). Emails involving the companies unwillingness to compensate for a lack of equal pay for equal work which ended in him telling me 'We would consider this your resignation and thank you for your feedback and time worked here..." Is this constructive dissmissal? 3 weeks after this the HR guy contacted me wanting to clarify my resignation or my future at the company... I had a meeting with him and am having a follow up. His focus was very much on the future. I was told a female employee was 'bad mouthing' me to my new boss who I have not met yet. Am I entitled to a workers' report over this investigation?

Thank you for your question. Your employer cannot "force" you to resign or demand a resignation. Given the injury and the apparent lack of accommodation, your employer may be in violation of your human rights. I would encourage you to call us and set up a consultation to fully discuss this matter with one of our employment lawyers.
