I never do that before but from my analysis; because, at the end of the day it involves payment from own pocket? If someone is earning 4k/mth, a payment in lieu of 3 months period will be 12k edi, assuming no more AL to deduct. 12k is a huge sum for an individual. Not all companies is willing to pay for the notice period. 

Whereas if you tender and serve the notice period (since no job in sight), you can just clock in sharp, ular here and ular there, clock out sharp and your gaji still rolling in for the next 3 months. Then on last day can just MIA if wanna avoid those pesky farewell parties. lol
