10. What are the penalties likely to be, if someone succeeds in a claim for constructive dismissal?

The remedies available to an employee who is claiming constructive unfair dismissal are:
  • reinstatement;
  • re-engagement; or
  • compensation.
If the employer/employee relationship has broken down, however, the employee is unlikely to ask for his (or her) job back, and will probably seek compensation (see question one).
