Unpleasant layoff

Oh SNAP! Cander made a non-chit chat post lol.

But that is a good point but still. The employee was being insubordinate (doesnt give him any right to sue) and does he really think hes going to be able to sue the company for any money at all seeing how they are in dire straights? You cant get blood from a turnup.

I have been making other posts elsewhere this week. Mostly in the C# forum.

Well if he is dumb enough to turn down a couple more months of work plus severance, maybe he is dumb enough to try to get squeeze that turnip.

you have to wonder if he is thinking he can start a wrongful termination suit

That was my initial thought when reading your original post. I'd get some legal advice if I was you but, from what you've said, I don't think you have a lot to worry about.

My only concern would be that I'm not sure he has been subordinate. Certainly he was not turning up to work but in the UK (don't know about the US) you can't actually be sacked for that without going through a disciplinary process. And him saying that he thought you were trying to get him to quit isn't insubordination either. It's paranoid and a bit weird, certainly, but it really doesn't constitute insubordination.

I don't think you'll need to worry about that though because you're paying him three months salary which is more that he would be entitled to under a redundancy. Any tribunal is going to find, at worst, that he was unfairly dismissed but has already been fully compensated.
