Document background
The Constructive Dismissal Letter is a critical document used when an employee is forced to resign due to their employer's serious breach of employment contract terms. Under Singapore law, this document must clearly establish the fundamental breach that has occurred, providing specific examples and a timeline of events. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally notifies the employer of the constructive dismissal claim, preserves the employee's legal rights, and creates a documented record for potential proceedings before the Employment Claims Tribunals. It should include references to relevant sections of the Employment Act and Tripartite Guidelines on Wrongful Dismissal, and detail all attempts made to resolve the situation prior to resignation.
