Subject: Former employee claims constructive discharge under Title VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964

Dear Mr. Richardson, I would like to present you important facts as a result of my research found regarding Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The plaintiff’s arguments are irrelevant and do not justify his claim against Toys Are Fun.

Constructive discharge is also one of the hardest cases to prove since plaintiffs need to meet certain requirements to prove they were victims of constructive discharge; abrupt termination is not acceptable proof since the employee is required to give the employer a reasonable chance to resolve the issue.

The former employee resigned from his job for not being able to work during a scheduled holiday. Toys Are Fun did not have a chance to discuss the issue with employee and for this reason accommodation such as shift swaps and make-up hours, were never offered.
