**Can a verbal warning be given without my knowledge?**

During a recent meeting with my manager, we both admitted that my current job role isn't working out.

I have had an excellent career history to date and in January received a payrise and a peformance bonus.

I feel like I have constantly bullied since I have started at my new organisation (a large pharmacutical company) where I work in procurement. My boss has done little to address this, claiming that he feels I failed to intergrate myself into the team, even when this happened in meetings in front of him.

I was prepared to put forward a case for bullying, but my manager counter acted my claim, apparently having evidence that I have poor time keeping, and have upset members of my team (the bullies). He also added that my apparent conduct issues were heading towards me getting a verbal warning.

In total shock, I asked to hand in my notice there and then and leave, after of course completing my notice.

He responded by offering me 3 months full pay, and to leave quietly there and then on gardening leave.

I asked whether I was being suspended or whether I have a warning on my file and he said that we both don't want that to happen, but if was to stay this may be the outcome.

I am concerned that in my absence from work, he has put something on my file, that I won't know about until an other company applies for a reference. I guess this comes down to no trust, and the fact he fabricated evidence against me to get rid of me in the first place.

Also, as I am a currently job hunting, will it look a little strange that my employment reference will claim I am still on my companies payroll for the next 3 months. Apparently they will be happy to accept my resignation should I find something else.

The bullying part now doesnt bother me, I'm made of tough stuff, and have never been bullied, been a bully or had conduct issues in the past.
