Question 3 Mr Mcconnell and his colleague, Mr Richmond, were employed as Jewellery salesmen and paid on a salary plus commission basis. In 1994 the employer decided to alter the approach and methods employed to sell the company's products. The initiative did not succeed and the commission earned by the two men dropped substantially. Soon after the changes were made, the men raised a complaint with their manager, but he said that nothing could be done immediately. Some weeks later they again complained but nothing was done. Finally, they tried to take the matter up with the company chairman, Mr Goold, but were not given an appointment to meet with him. They thus resigned and claimed constructive dismissal. They won their case.
