Not increasing pay isn't quit firing, because there is no firing. It is just businesses being stingy.

it's constructive dismissal.

Only if it targets specific employees with the goal of getting them to quit. If the business doesn't give raises in general they are just being cheap.

I feel like meeting that to a legal level is a stretch. Minor cost of living raises that don't meet inflation doesn't rise to that level in my uneducated understanding
