Constructive discharge is the legal term for when an employee is compelled to quit due to intolerable working conditions. Constructive discharge is not grounds for a lawsuit in and of itself. Rather, it allows an employee to sue for wrongful termination as part of a lawsuit based on some other employment law, such as a workplace discrimination lawsuit. This is because an employee who has been constructively discharged has really just been terminated, and terminations are not illegal unless they are in violation of some other law — or an employment contract.
