A suspension isn't a disciplinary outcome in itself, and it should normally be on full pay — but the process around it matters, and it can be the first step toward a dismissal.

What this covers

Whether a suspension should be paid
What a fair investigation process looks like
Your rights during any disciplinary process that follows
When to seek advice before a disciplinary meeting

Getting advice while you're suspended — not after a decision is made — gives you the most options.
