Surviving a Workplace Suspension is your essential step-by-step guide to your rights in the event of suspension. Suspension is the result of a decision by your employer that the usual employment relationship cannot function effectively while the investigation (or situation) is continuing. It does not mean that you are culpable or guilty of anything, although it might feel like that. Remember that you are entitled to the presumption of innocence until the alleged gross misconduct has been investigated, and you have been allowed to put your side of the story. It will catch you by surprise in circumstances where you would not have had any opportunity to prepare or even know fully what the allegation is against you. It may lead to you losing your job and is not something to be taken lightly.
In addition, there is a stigma attached to suspension. It sends the message that you have done something really bad, damages your reputation in the workplace, and potentially with clients and customers if they find out about it. You will also be unable to practice your skills whilst off work because you are still employed and bound by your employment contract (unless your employment contract says differently).

Should the worst happen, you would be prepared for conciliation or the employment tribunal process. The guide is supplemented by information on the Disciplinary Action section of the website.
