Generally, when an employer unilaterally reduces employee compensation or significantly alters job duties, the employee can choose to reject the changes and treat their employment as ended. If your employer has created a hostile environment by fundamentally breaching your employment contract, you may be eligible to claim constructive dismissal.
Depending on the severity of the change, Canadian courts will accept your claim if a fundamental change has been made to your contract after it was signed. This means that if something was agreed upon, has now changed, your claim is valid.
If your employer has created a hostile work environment, decreased your compensation, or has taken any other unilateral action against you and you are seeking legal advice, please contact Toronto employment lawyers, Sultan Lawyers at 416-214-5111 or via email at khayward@sultanlawyers.com.
