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.

Unknown CourtFeb 7, 2022Ohio

Trial court erred in excluding evidence as hearsay where evidence was not offered for the truth of the matter asserted and where probative value was not substantially outweighed by prejudicial effect in giving jury instructions that were not supported by the evidence in directing verdict on the basis of immunity where question existed whether the defendants acted in bad faith, with malice, or recklessly and in excluding expert witness on damages and not recognizing concept of constructive discharge.
