If the employer breaches the contract the
employee has the choice of accepting the
breach or resigning.
Examples of breaches include:
- False allegations of misconduct.
- Harassing the employee.
- Not paying wages / salary.
- Changing an employee’s job or terms
of employment.
- Changing the employee’s work
location without notice (if it is a
major change)
In fact anything that breaches the
"mutual trust and confidence" between
the employee and the employer. This is
the goodwill between the two parties
that has to exist to make the
relationship workable.
If the employee accepts the breach by
the employer and remains in their job,
the employee can still seek compensation
from the employer for the breach of the
contract.
