Sounds like I know who you work for.
Firstly, if you were to initiate a retrenchment package, you wont be allowed any of the retrenchment benefits. It has to be an employer initiated retrenchment. UIF etc wont pay out, unless its employer initiated (who first came up with the idea)
To be honest, you cant expect your company to give you an offer if you wish to quit. You will simply have to quit your job and move elsewhere. Sorry that's how life goes. If you don't like the work then quit. You cant expect them to offer a package if you've had it with your employers.
Also if you cause trouble, then they can fire you for either insubordination or bad discipline, let alone poor performance. Those are perfectly legal ways to dismiss you without offering you any type of package. These will also look bad on your resume.
So your best option is to find another job and then quit your job (it happens all the time). They only payout you will get is your retrenchment benefits and leave accrued really.
There are no options for a settlement, unless they decide they need to make your job redundant.
Also if I read right, you're a contractor. So retrenchment benefits are covered by you yourself, and the leave however you should get. Also note that if you are on contract (as contractors tend to be), you will need to pay an early cancellation penalty to your company for leaving before the contract period has run it's course.

I may have phrased my original post poorly...
I am permanently employed. We (company) are a contractor at the customer where I am currently based.
My position is just about as redundant. It would actually serve them to make me redundant and pay me out. I'm merely looking to trigger that process, 1. because it would help me whilst I look for something else (there's not much out there), 2. because the relationship is deteriorating at such a rate that the near-future outlook is bleak and 3. because the management team are not comfortable with conflict and discipline, at all. The team is awry, to say the least. Zero control.
I am following instruction and performing my work as issued, even with the severely wayward, ill-defined instructions coming my way.

No it won't. Cause if you resign they don't need to pay you a package, and if you make trouble they can fire you and don't need to pay you a package. I'd love to know why you think it would serve them to pay you to go away. Also, AFAIK a company can't just retrench one person only - they need to open a retrenchment process and go through the motions. Remember, they cannot legally hire a person in that position for the next 6 months.

For some reason, OP is adamant that the company will be willing to pay him to go away. I think he titled his thread wrong, he should've asked:"How to extort hush money without breaking the law."

Yes. I was hella confused when I initially read that OP.

Yeah same feeling I`m getting from this. Perhaps another "Management" position would make OP happy. One where OP can just "Manage" for 8 hours a day.
