Document background
A Letter of Suspension is a crucial employment document used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from the workplace while maintaining their employment contract. This document is commonly used in England and Wales during investigations into potential misconduct, serious performance issues, or situations where an employee's presence might impact an investigation or pose risks. The letter must clearly state the terms of suspension, including duration, pay status, and conditions, while ensuring compliance with UK employment law and workplace policies. It serves as an official record of the suspension decision and protects both employer and employee interests during the suspension period.
