If you are an employee feeling forced to resign – of course, it is your right to do so. If you feel as though you had no other choice, you may be eligible to make an unfair dismissal claim.

If you are a business owner or manager, keep in mind that encouraging an employee to resign is risky. The employee may later make a constrictive dismissal claim. Instead, have an open and honest conversation about the workplace issues (whether it is performance, or behaviour etc).
