Product Information
This policy explains the process regarding tasks to be completed before an employee leaves their employment.
Question
An employee has submitted their resignation. I thought everything was fine but it turns out they are not happy about how one of the managers has treated them. It is rumoured they might now be seeking a constructive dismissal claim.
Answer
In most constructive dismissal claims the claimant needs to leave their employment at the point where a situation has become so untenable they can no longer stay. Submitting a resignation and working notice suggests the situation is not that untenable. However, it sounds as if it is necessary to investigate the reasons for resignation and if there is anything untoward to deal with it in the appropriate manner.
