constructive discharge

A termination of employment brought about by making the employee's working conditions so intolerable that the employee feels compelled to leave."Most constructive discharges fall into one of two basic fact patterns. First, the employer can cause a constructive discharge by breaching the employee's contract of employment in some manner short of termination. Second, the employer can make working conditions so intol-erable that the employee feels compelled to quit." Mark A. Rothstein et al., Employment Law § 9.7, at 539 (1994).
