Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
On Monday June 25th, I left my job in Etobicoke, after I made a third complaint about verbal harassment by another employee. Employer management did not do anything, except on the last incident they told me to go home (paid) and think about it, when I said I might quit. So,rather than subject myself to more harassment, I resigned. I believe this constitutes constructive dismissal.
I was only there two months, so I know there is little chance of receiving any compensation – but I would like a legal opinion on this. Thank you for your time.
