When an employee quits his or her job because of employer imposed intolerable work conditions purposefully, the employee's termination is known as:

a.		Constructive discharge
b.		Retaliatory discharge
c.		Involuntary discharge
d.		Wrongful discharge

Answer 1

In employment law, constructive dismissal, also called constructive   discharge or constructive termination, occurs when an employee resigns as a result of the employer creating a hostile work environment. Since the resignation was not truly voluntary, it is, in effect, a termination.

Retaliatory discharge refers to an employer terminating an employee for anything other than a work-performance related reason. The term most commonly refers to an employee being terminated for reporting the employer's wrongful conduct.

The involuntary discharge of an employee refers to a company's decision to terminate an employee. Involuntary discharge types include firing and laying off employees. When a company fires an employee, it generally stems from behavioral or performance issues on the worker's part.

In law, wrongful dismissal, also called wrongful termination or wrongful discharge, is a situation in which an employee's contract of employment has been terminated by the employer, where the termination breaches one or more terms of the contract of employment, or a statute provision or rule in employment law. Laws governing wrongful dismissal vary according to the terms of the employment contract, as well as under the laws and public policies of the jurisdiction.

Based on above introduction ., the type of discharge when an employee quits his or her job because of employer imposed intolerable work conditions( i.e. HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT ) purposefully , the employee’s termination is known as “ CONSTRUCTIVE DISCHARGE “
