Dismissed for poor performance - HELP PLEASE

[darren.reading]

Hi there!

 

Just after a bit of advice please!

 

If I fill you in on the situation.

 

I had a performance review back in June - all realatively good (2s or 3s out of 7) with the exception of speed (5 out of 7). Although these rating were verbally told to me at a performance meeting, I never received a final performance form from my manager.

 

We clashed a little over the pay rise I achieved. He told me that he would propose a performance related bonus over the 6 months to December that he would agree with his boss. In my opinion he should have cleared this with his boss first before mentioning to me, however, when I approached him a week later to ask if he had been given clearance and to set out the performance benchmarks, I had not response, and still none to this date.

 

I also found out that he had lied to me in the meeting about the level of pay rise and bonus he was awaraded this yer.

 

So needless to say I have been under motivated and just working 9 to 5 for him, doing what I can within those hours in line with my contract, but the nature of the job requires an element of overtime and I have left him to clear the extra work that has arisen (effectively it is our joint responsibility to compelte this work).

 

I have just had the first meeting with him on performance since June, and he has indicated that he wants to replace me. Poor performance has been given as the reason.

 

I can understand this to some extent, though my performance has been good when I am here, I just haven't put in the hours that he thinks I should and that he has put in.

 

So I just need some advice really.

 

I am on 3 months notice. I assume that this has to be paid to me if he wants me to leave?

 

If he wants to bring in a replacement for a handover before I leave, when does the 3 months notice period start?

 

I have been with the company 18 months, am I entitled to any other compensation?

 

Is there anything else that I should raise?

 

Many thanks for your help.
