I have been through this before although at big companies - some things don't sound right. Is it a small place?
Technically they only have to pay you statutory and 3 months is a much better deal. Question is it 15 weeks pay and you go or is it 15 weeks gardening leave? Paid up is better.
If they mess this up from a legal / technical perspective you can make a claim and potentially get more out of them - but it's a massive pain in the ass going through the process. Strongly suggest you take the money and find a new job. The best advice is from a law firm but this is ambulance chaser work and i would be very careful, they will all talk you into making a claim. Only open this door if you feel like they have genuinely shafted you. Otherwise the lawyers are just after something to charge fee's on and what ever you get out won't be worth the hassle.
Hi mate.
Thanks for the sound advice firstly. It is pretty much how I see it with whatever I say tomorrow being completely irrelevant. They are offering me two months redundancy and two weeks pay (one for every year I have been with the company) and I am assuming that I will be out at the end of May with the already mentioned redundancy and other payment. I am going to try and spin them for another weeks pay as I have been there for two and-a-half years service.
