Employment relations

Ramond, aged 46, was a chartering manager with a shipping company. His contract stipulated that he was to be paid $7,000 per month, paid semi-monthly. His employer was frequently late in paying him: his first paycheque was three days late; the next two were paid on time but the next five were all three to four weeks late. This put Ramond in a difficult position with his landlord and, because it happened around Christmas time, he was unable to buy gifts for his family. When he questioned his employer about the situation, the employer provided unhelpful responses, saying the delays related to problems with an offshore account. In January, Ramond resigned and sued the employer for constructive dismissal.

Do you think his claim would be successful? Provide your reasons.
