I have been a lead hand for 7 years and was given a letter today informing me I will be transition to a material handler. In this role my salary will remain the same reporting to the same manager. Is this a constructive dismissal.

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

Determining whether or not a constructive dismissal has occurred is highly contextual and requires a thorough review of the facts of each case. Though they will be continuing your current salary, that does not mean that there has a not been a constructive dismissal if the new position would, at law, be considered fundamentally different in another way. That being said, in order to provide you with a more fulsome opinion with respect to your particular case, we would need more information.
