If you're feeling driven to quit by your employer's actions, you might actually be entitled to a severance package.

The theme for this week's videos was about constructive dismissal. I covered some common examples of unilateral changes made by employers that could entitle employees to severance packages (depending on the wording of their contracts):


  1. unpaid disciplinary suspensions;

  2. layoffs;

  3. relocations; and

  4. demotions.


You can find more details on each of these points in the descriptions attached to these videos.


Next week's videos will be all about getting fired.
