Does anyone know anything about constructive discharge in the state of Virginia?
Constructive Discharge: occurs when an employer makes working conditions so intolerable that an employee has no choice but to resign.
In my case, they aren't making things intolerable so much as they are taking away different rights to do different taks a little at a time. This is a govt contractor that I work for and they just recently did background checks and mine was one that came back as being 'tagged'. They kept a few of us that are now classified as 'unsuitable' because they feel that we are very knowledgable and are hard workers. (so they say)
Within the last month, they have been receiving emails & phone calls from the govt agency wanting to know what our company is doing to guarantee that the 'unsuitables' aren't accessing their system that contains confidential information. When it's all said and done, I think they will end up releasing all of us just so they don't have to answer these types of questions. Why they haven't done it yet, I don't know but again, little by little they are taking away other duties that don't even have to do with the accessing the agencies system/information.
Would this possibly be Constructive Discharge which would fall under Wrongful Termination?
