It is crucial that employers follow a fair dismissal procedure and take all necessary steps to minimise the risk of unfair dismissal claims and reputational damage. But supposing it is the employee who leaves and then claims constructive dismissal? What risks does the employer face?

Watch on-demand

In XpertHR’s 60-minute webinar which took place on Thursday 5 May 2022, Max Winthrop, partner and head of the employment law team of Short, Richardson & Forth, guides you through everything you need to know about constructive dismissals and how they can be defended if your employer ends up facing an employment tribunal claim.

This free webinar guides you through various issues around constructive dismissal, including:

  • what amounts to a fundamental breach of contract;
  • the best ways to avoid fundamentally breaching an employee’s contract of employment;
  • circumstances where the employee may have waived or affirmed the breach of their contract of employment;
  • whether repudiatory conduct by an employer has to be the sole cause of an employee leaving;
  • “last straw” cases – ie where the employee relies on a final action from the employer following an alleged series of less serious breaches; and
  • whether an employer can cure a breach of an employee’s contract of employment.

The webinar includes a Q&A session. Watch on-demand.
