I have resigned. Is that the correct decision?
Q I recently applied for the subject leaves due to having an autistic child and my wife has gone to depression because of his behaviour. My employer is giving me holidays only subject to stepping down from my role (demotion). Resultantly I resigned. Please advise this decision is correct?
A Providing you fit the eligibility criteria for requesting unpaid parental leave you should be granted it. More importantly, you may be suffering discrimination by association. Clearly accepting the holiday leave on condition that you be demoted is a significant detriment entitling you you resign and claim constructive dismissal.
I suggest you take independent legal advice with a view to making a tribunal claim. Don’t delay as strict time limits apply, so start the process now by starting the ACAS pre-claim conciliation procedure.
