Hello,

 

I recently left my job. At the time I was being hassled by management and I felt that could no longer work there. I had had time off work because of the stress I was under and I had been receiving counseling as well.

 

I returned to work just prior to a restructure and they were looking for people to leave. I was all over the place mentally, and I explained to management that I couldn't continue to work there anymore, there was a breakdown of trust/confidence and I took a redundancy payment and left.

 

Do I have any grounds for a claim for unfair or constructive dismissal? Is there much difference between the two terms?

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I expect the guys will be along over the course of the day with advice for you, please bear with us until they're able to get here.

 

In case it's relevant, how long ago did this happen please?

 

My best, HB

Many places ask you to sign a compromise agreement when you take redundancy. Did that happen here? Did you need to see a solicitor?

 

Then, what evidence do you have? You have no case without evidence.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Thanks HB,

 

it was only a month ago. I have emails to back up some of what happened. I was not asked to sign a compromise agreement and I didn't see a solicitor.

 

Is there a world of difference between claiming unfair dismissal and constructive dismissal?

 

Both are technically unfair dismissal claims, the difference being that in a constructive dismissal claim the claimant resigns, but has the additional hurdle of proving it was a dismissal in law due to the employers unreasonable conduct.

 

I seem to recall reading recently that voluntary redundancy is termination by mutual consent, meaning no resignation occurred, but I'd have to check the authority for that point.

good point - did you volnteer for redundancy, or were you selected by some other means?
