While an employer may in some circumstances be permitted to reduce an employee's compensation, doing so in other circumstances may amount to what the law calls a constructive dismissal. If you are either outright terminated or subject to a reduction in pay that rises to the level of a constructive dismissal, you may be entitled to significant termination related compensation.

Because these cases are highly fact specific and time sensitive, it’s important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible. We strongly encourage you to contact us to set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who can fully review your circumstances, provide you with guidance and advice regarding your workplace rights, and assist you in navigating the situation in a manner that best suits your goals.
