Suspension Notices: Get It Right
Suspension is a precautionary measure, not a punishment. When issuing a notice of suspension, employers must:
✔️ State clear reasons for the suspension
✔️ Confirm it is precautionary and on full pay
✔️ Limit the duration and review it regularly
✔️ Avoid prejudging guilt
✔️ Follow a fair process at all times
⚠️ Poorly handled suspensions expose employers to unfair labour practice claims.
