Constructive Dismissal

[Jack the Lad]

I have been working for my employer for just shy of 3 years - I started there as an Assistant Manager, and just over a year ago I was promoted to General Manager. I was given some targets to achieve at this time.
In February, my boss came to see me at work and the gist of the conversation was that he didn't think I was.coping as Manager and was looking to bring someone else in. I could continue in the role until then.
At the beginning of June the new manager started and for the first couple of weeks all was OK. We got along OK and I helped him out in areas he was unfamiliar with.
However, for the past 3 weeks it has gone down hill!
My contract is for 35-40 hrs a week, but I have only been given about 20 per week and several days have been sent home early.

If I resigned, could I claim Constructive Dismissal as a breach of contract has happened??

Thanks
Fred

Can your employer reduce your hours, or lay you off? The short answer is only if your contract of employment allows it.

Your employer can only lay you off or require you to go on reduced hours if your contract of employment allows it.

If not, your employer will have to negotiate a change to your contract.

Typically, this will involve many members of staff and they or their union will have to agree to the new arrangement.

You should also check if your contract allows you to take on another paid job while you’re on reduced hours.
