Could it be constructive dismissal if your employer cuts off access to the intranet, email, while on a medical leave? And ask for equipment back 5 months after leave started? There have also been issues with harassment and racism that have been brought up.

Hello,

It is not unusual for employers to restrict access to internal systems when an employee is away for a long period of time. It is also permitted to request that the employee return employer property such as keys, passes, and computers while they are on leave.

We would have to know more about the harassment and racism to better understand whether there is a constructive dismissal claim in this case.
