About Constructive Discharge Claims

Constructive discharge occurs when an employer makes working conditions so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel compelled to resign. The employee must show that the employer deliberately created or knowingly permitted conditions that were so difficult that resignation was a foreseeable consequence. These claims are often paired with underlying discrimination or harassment allegations.

Alapini
Ohio Ct. App.Jan 6, 2026

Appellant's assignments of error, which challenged the trial court's determination that he failed to exhaust administrative remedies because he did not allege in his charge to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission that he had been constructively discharged, were moot because appellant did not assign as error the trial court's independent determination that his claims of discrimination and retaliation predicated on constructive discharge were time-barred under R.C. 4112.052(C). Trial court's judgment is affirmed on that unchallenged basis.

Civ.R. 56, hostile work environment, constructive discharge. Plaintiff failed to produce a genuine issue as to any material fact that he was subjected to a hostile work environment based on his race or national origin, or that he was constructively discharged. The alleged hostile actions and commentary made by other employees were not racially based and did not materially disrupt plaintiff's work. As plaintiff's experiences amounted to no more than ordinary tribulations of the workplace, plaintiff's hostile work environment claims failed. For the same reasons, plaintiff failed to sustain his constructive discharge claim. Summary judgment was granted in favor of defendant pursuant to Civ.R. 56.
