I can name at least two past employers where this has happened. Common in sales type roles. More often than not they've just put them on gardening leave for the three months but I've seen them negotiate early settlements. An employee with access to your IP/client lists etc who is going to a competitor is a massive risk.WTF, which employer is going to pay you two but only make you work one. Manager or not I’d be telling him to give his head a shake.
Leave after one and get paid for one or leave after three and get paid for three.
