Maybe it's the "not illegal" clause that causes us to jump through hoops so we can show we went through every effort to accomodate an employee, so they don't come back and sue later for wrongful/illegal dismissal ?
They'll sue you anyway. Better to offer them a bribe to go away and sign a non-suing agreement.
Everybody complains about this--"You paid that twerp to go away! How do I get that deal?". To which I respond, "I'll make him your partner and let you manage him for the next 6 months to build up a paper trail to make HR happy, if you wish." Suddenly, it looks like a good deal.
It's normally worth paying a rather significant chunk of money to get bad blood out of your group *today* rather than 6 months from now. And people will generally sign agreements for remarkably low amounts of cash.
