Document background
The Temporary Suspension Letter is a crucial employment document used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from the workplace while maintaining their employment contract. Common scenarios include conducting investigations into misconduct, addressing serious workplace concerns, or managing health and safety risks. Under English and Welsh law, this document must clearly state the terms of suspension, including duration, pay status, and conditions. It should be drafted in compliance with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and related employment legislation, ensuring fair treatment and clear communication of expectations during the suspension period.
