Common use of Suspensions Pending Investigation Clause in Contracts

Suspensions Pending Investigation. The University may suspend an employee with pay, or, in the case of hourly employees, without pay, in order to investigate allegations of serious misconduct. A suspension pending investigation may warrant immediately relieving the employee from all work duties and/or require removing the employee from the premises. If an hourly employee is suspended without pay and the University determines that the employee did not commit an offense warranting suspension or discharge, the employee will receive back pay for the period of the investigatory suspension based on the terms of their appointment letter. Back pay will be remitted within a reasonable amount of time following the end of the suspension. Being placed on investigatory suspension is not itself a disciplinary action and is not subject to grievance procedures in Article 8 of this Agreement.
