I have worked for a company for 21 years, last week we were told that the owners have sold the company to an existing larger firm which is 3 times the distance from the current location. The move is to take place in 3 weeks from now. My question is is this considered constructive dismissal? Since the job is still there but another 100 kms of daily commuting? Without further remuneration. I wish to resign but not without legal advice first. Thanks.

My name is Stan Fainzilberg and I am an associate at the firm.

A change in work location may constitute a constructive dismissal. Factors the court will consider in such a situation include the commute time, previous work history related to such changes, and whether it would have been reasonable to accept such a change based on your circumstances specifically.
