Suspend an employee pending a disciplinary investigation
Key points
It may be necessary for an employer to suspend an employee while it carries out an investigation into alleged misconduct. However, the employer should suspend the employee only after careful consideration.
Suspension will not be appropriate in all circumstances where disciplinary investigations are being carried out; this will depend on factors such as the nature of the employee's suspected misconduct.
In most situations, the employee should be paid in full during the period of suspension.
