significant change in salary |

Summary:
Claimant argued that a reduction of his working hours from 60 hours and more to 40 hours per week was a significant change in working conditions and that this constituted constructive dismissal. Held by Umpire that the claimant had the alternative of keeping his employment. A prudent person would not have left a job providing a normal number of hours at a salary that was not negligible for no employment at all.
