Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ramon experienced constructive discharge, which refers to a situation where an employer makes working conditions so intolerable that an employee feels forced to resign. In this case, the constant changing of Ramon's work schedule and job duties made it impossible for him to plan for his child's care, which created an intolerable working condition leading to his resignation. Wrongful discharge would apply if Ramon was fired for illegal reasons, economic discharge would apply if Ramon was let go due to financial reasons, and express discharge would apply if Ramon was terminated on the spot with clear and explicit reasons given. None of these scenarios apply in this case.
