What is suspension?
Most disciplinary procedures will not require suspension. An employee will usually be able to continue doing their normal role while the matter is investigated. However, in instances of serious misconduct, an employer may wish to suspend the employee under investigation on full pay.
How long should suspension be for?
Any period of suspension should be as short as possible, the decision to suspend should be kept under review and it should be made clear that suspension is not considered a disciplinary action. An employee needs to be informed of the fact that they have been placed on suspension as soon as possible. Any conversation to this effect should be followed up in writing.
