Al – its much harder to fairly dismiss someone while they are off sick – possible but tricky
As I said on the compromise agreements thread treat this as a starting point. If thats their opening offer they must want rid of you badly and know its an expensive pain to get rid of you legally.
How long have you been with the company?
If you are dues 3 months notice tehn 2,5 month compromise agreement payoff is not much.
Negotiate for more. Threaten reporting to HSE for the lack of correct chair / keyboard, ergonomic assessment etc and to tribunal for unfair dismissal. Play hardball.
I bet the offer gets increased.
proving the injury was exacerbated by work will be very difficult and wining a tribunal wont pay much
Get real professional advice tho
