Parveen has been working for Subtle Ltd for 3 years. Her contract of employment provides that her role is an expert buyer in children clothing, and that her hours of work are 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. Her place of work is situated in the downtown Toronto area. Last week Parveen was called into the office of her Manager and informed of the following: (a) her place of work would now be in Hamilton because the office needs someone with her expertise there; (b) she would be expected to work on Saturdays and the occasional Sunday; (c) her salary would be slightly reduced because the company needed to be more economical with their budget. Over the weekend Parveen discussed matters with her husband, and they both decided that she was not in a position to accept Management's new offer. When she communicated this to her Manager she was told to clear her desk and not to return.

(i) Parveen has been dismissed, but what type of dismissal has taken place? Briefly give an explanation for your answer.
