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.
