The suspension of employees happens frequently in the work environment in different contexts. It has several contractual and other legal consequences. In the present note the meaning of suspension is considered and the legal consequences of suspension are explained and evaluated. In the discussions both the common-law and statutory provisions of suspension are considered. The interaction between the principles of the two systems is also highlighted. The constitutional validity of certain legal provisions of statutory regulation of suspension is also commented upon.
