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 giving rise to the employee acquiring the right to make claims against the employer for compensation. The employee may resign over a single serious incident or over a pattern of incidents. Generally, the employee must resign soon after the occurrence of the serious incident or the pattern of incidents. القاموس القانوني
