Hi would I possibly be entitled to constructive dismissal after being laid off?
I had multiple occasions of breach of contract with my now former employer but I was trying to look around for other positions when they called me last Friday afternoon to let me know that we should part ways as it is clear that I’m looking around and not happy with where I was.

My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Searching for alternative employment is not just cause for termination. Therefore, while your employer can terminate your employment, they must provide you with severance pay. To determine your severance entitlements, please visit the severance calculator (https://www.severancepaycalculator.com) and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
