Add Comment Question: I have been with my employer almost 3 years in a professional sales role. My employer is a global firm which is publicly traded and recently there have been many layoffs of long term employees due to sales being down. I just got back from taking my vacation which was extended due to a death in my family. When I went back to work this past Monday my boss took me aside and asked if I’d take a severance package and say I’m resigning. They’re offering 3 months salary and benefits but I am a single mom and was not planning on leaving my job. Is this constructive dismissal? I’m not able to focus very well they’d like an answer asap but I’m not giving them an answer until I get some legal advice. I told them I have to think about it. Answer: This is not likely a constructive dismissal claim but you will want to consult with one of our lawyers to discuss your situation and how to navigate the next steps. Ultimately, there is nothing we can do to stop them from terminating you but you must be paid an appropriate severance package.
