    “If he "Fred" portrayed gross misconduct on the job then they would hardly have offered him any financial package.”

    Exactly. The final amount was not far off one years salary and was tax free. So Fred is a happy bunny. He is now working in a far more senior management role that is closer to home.

    Just a heads up (not on this case).

    The 20 years of good service are irrelevant for Gross Misconduct. Gross Misconduct generally has nothing to do with performance patterns, it is an incident which requires immediate removal. So (for example) doing a bump in the office bathroom, accepting a kickback from a client, etc. Being "bad at sales" is not gross misconduct nor is "not showing up for a week because drunk" ... but "screwing up a sale by calling the client a slur" or "showing up drunk" might be.

    Anyone being bounced for Gross Misconduct BUT who is then offered a redundancy deal... generally has some idea if they should cut and run or not. Get a good employment lawyer (not the guy who you got your house with) and pay them 300 to give you good advice.
