Add Comment Question: Is an employer legally able to demote you without severance paid; ie manager to assistant manager due to restructuring of the company? is this construed as constructive dismissal/wrongful dismissal? apparently wages would not be touched. Answer: if your wages will remain the same then it would depend on how great the changes are to your duties and responsibilities between your previous role and new role for it to be considered a constructive dismissal. please contact us at the number below for a consultation with a lawyer to discuss this matter.
