Practice question
A manager unlawfully strips an employee of rank and a substantial part of her pay, repeatedly states that she must leave and makes continued work objectively unbearable. The employee signs a letter headed resignation to escape those conditions. The employer relies solely on the heading and refuses inquiry into the stipulated coercive circumstances. Which is best?
- The heading conclusively establishes a voluntary departure
- A reduction in rank can never be relevant
- The actual circumstances may establish constructive dismissal; a resignation label does not defeat the objective inquiry
- Only an express firing notice can establish dismissal
- The worker necessarily waives every legal remedy by signing any paper
