suspension

[tophdagod]

recently my mum was suspended on "full pay" because of misconduct. In the proceeding meetings to discuss the misconduct she was told she was still on full pay. She was eventually found guilty of misconduct (very harsh). she was suspended for 5 weeks and had over 2 weeks to come before she was suspended. She rung work and they have since said that 2 weeks basic wage are going to be paid. can anyone help?

thankyou

It all depends on her terms and conditions of employment. If she was suspended on full pay then she should have been paid for full basic pay for the duration until she was dismissed or taken back. Sounds wrong to me.

Sorry don`t quite understand your question. Are you saying your mum wasn`t paid for 2 weeks. If she has extras through her work and she`s suspended, she will just get her basic pay.

During the period of suspension, basic pay will be payable. Not average overtime or bonuses or any other add-ons.
Removing someone out of the business for another 5 weeks when misconduct is adjudged to have occurred sounds very odd to me. The 'penalty' is more normally a written warning. If they are going to do it (and I'm not saying they are acting reasonably), then I would expect any period of suspension to be on basic pay once again. They cannot normally 'lay off' a person in this manner without paying basic pay.

Well I'm glad buildersmate has been able to answer it because I'd looked at it but couldn't follow it.

So for misconduct you get paid holiday that doesn't come out of your holiday entitlement?
