What are the guidelines for proper suspension of exempt, nonexempt employees?
HRCalifornia
An employer may suspend an employee, assuming that the suspension is not applied for absenteeism, which may be protected by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act, federal Americans with Disabilities Act, workers' compensation, pregnancy leave or any number of other protected bases.
Before deciding to suspend an employee, however, employers should also consider the following factors:
- The reason for the suspension
- Whether the suspension is with or without pay
