When an employee has been dismissed for cause

Question

What dismissal arises when an employee has been dismissed for cause?

Answer 1

Wrongful dismissal arises when an employee has been dismissed for cause and the employee claims there was no just cause or when an employee receives notice of dismissal but claims it was inadequate. An employee has a duty to mitigate, to take reasonable steps to minimize losses by seeking reinstatement or new employment. Constructive dismissal occur when an employer fundamentally changes the nature of a person’s job without the employee’s consent by reducing salary/benefits, altering job status or responsibility, or changing geographical location. Wrongful resignation occurs when an employee fails to give the employer reasonable notice. This period is not necessarily the same as the period that an employer would be required to give for dismissal.
