Common use of Stand Down Without Pay Clause in Contracts

Stand Down Without Pay. The parties agree that, in cases involving allegations of serious misconduct, introduction of a “stand-down without pay” period may be appropriate, either as a penalty against the employee and/or to enable investigations covering the alleged incident to be undertaken. In each case where “stand-down without pay” is being considered, prior consultation and endorsement for the action will be made between SPARQ Solutions manager responsible for industrial relations and the relevant nominated employee representative. In addition, any period of stand-down without pay will not exceed two [2] normal work days. This period may be extended following Agreement in writing between SPARQ Solutions’ manager responsible for industrial relations and the relevant nominated employee representative. In those instances where a period of “stand-down without pay” is introduced to enable misconduct allegations to be investigated, the employee will be reimbursed for any loss of wages occurring during the period of stand-down if the allegations of misconduct are either withdrawn or subsequently not proven, and no disciplinary action is taken. For the purposes of this provision, “serious misconduct” is defined as behaviour by an employee that would warrant “summary dismissal”.
