Explanation
Answer: C - Constructive discharge (also called constructive dismissal) occurs when an employee resigns due to poor behavior on the part of their employer. The resigning employee must prove that the conduct was unlawful or a breach of contract. Usually, a constructive dismissal allows the employee to make legal claims against the employer. An HR professional may suggest creating terms of separation that compensate the employee for their distress and release the company from legal liability.
