Tamara was an administrative assistant at a security services company. She worked for both the IT and the HR departments at head office. Pursuant to a restructuring of the business, Tamara's IT support duties were largely removed since Securitas was going through "a transition period that had an effect on the type of work performed" by Webster as well as the amount of work. In addition, she lost the right to a bonus, although her salary was increased to reflect the amount lost (around $1,300) which she signed an agreement for it. Her reporting relationship also changed: she was now reporting to a lower-level HR professional rather than to the IT and HR managers, but these changes seemed as normal for a transition from the administrative assistant of two departments to that of one department. Although some of her duties changed, she remained an administrative assistant and her new duties remained consistent with that position. Several months later, Tamara resigned and sued the employer for constructive dismissal.
