Constructive Dismissal

A constructive dismissal may occur when your employer makes a significant change to a basic term or condition of your employment without your actual or implied consent. This can include a decrease in pay, a demotion, or a change of work location. It can also occur if you find yourself in a poisoned workplace.

Navigating a constructive dismissal situation on your own can be extremely challenging and complex. You have to know your obligations within the law, and understand how to respond to the situation. If your employer has significantly altered the terms and conditions of your employment, MacDonald & Associates’ lawyers are here to cast our legal perspective onto your unique situation and offer cost effective legal advice and solutions.

Natalie MacDonald is the best employment lawyer, bar none, in Canada! If you don’t speak to her, you will be making a mistake. I retained Natalie MacDonald to represent me on a wrongful dismissal. Overall, Natalie’s representation of me was excellent, as was her professionalism and organization. While in a mediation session once with Natalie, I noticed very quickly that she was much more prepared than our opponent. We had answers, they didn’t. When hiring Natalie, I knew she was intelligent and highly capable but I was surprised at the two styles I had witnessed. It led me to ask Natalie why she was more prepared than the opposing attorney. Her answer is Natalie’s magic: Natalie prepares every file, every client, as if she’s going to trial. There are no short cuts. It’s full service from the moment you say hello – and what service it is. In my opinion, that’s what differentiates Natalie from her opponents. You have your best chance at winning sitting on her side of the table.
