One mistake to avoid when you are suspended or placed on administrative leave at work pending investigation into the accusations against you

Sometimes employers are plain evil and want nothing but your destruction

Get a lawyer fast and never meet with them alone

Hi Arkady, a few years ago I saw one of your videos about advice with women, around 2009. I just rediscovered you and I see that you are a lawyer, congratulations man!

Pretty hard to trust people after being mistreated without any consequence to the abuser. How do we know the competence of the investigator?

I didn't get angry, but I did get upset. It was a conference call with 3-4 managers on the call. I am off work with pay. What you aren't saying is what the likely outcome will be? Are most people fired? Are people usually called back to work after an investigation? What I did is what probably most people do that work in a productivity environment. You need 10 more accounts to make quota. You stay an extra 30-60 minutes to make that quota so you won't be written up. Then, you are in trouble for being off the clock. It was never a problem until now.

if an investagot is taking sides they should be fired what about the side of evidence?

I was shocked that I'd be suspended from Chang's in November 2018. I asked what happened that had me suspended. Management told me they can't go into details as they are investigating. They did the usual, escort employees out of the building. They clocked me out on my behalf. A week later, I got a call from HR (who was a grouch, BTW) about why I was suspended. Someone came across an offensive online story wishing two people the worst. My motives were discussed, these employees were jerks to me. They had to terminate me because my story had strong language.

this seems rather employer-friendly advice. once the employer has turned on you, you can't win by being nice

[JhunnitLE]

I have been suspended can they suspend me without notice it’s sucks being a employee you don’t have no rights

[recordman]

If found innocent, can I reclaim pay for the time I was under suspension?

[Nordic_E.T.]

Thanks I know Im not wrong but I will be. Calm.

Can one force the employee to reveal reports written about as to why the employer took the steps they took?

[deans]

Is it lawful for an employer to put someone on an investigatory paid leave for one month + without telling what the reason is ? Union could not get any information from HR either.

[Tyler-zgue]

So what happens to the falsely accused and how long do these suspensions take?

[tangiechapman]

I got suspended and I’ll be investigated. Can I quit the job and get rehired back? I do marketing for a third party for a retail store.

Currently my job suspension case is in the ER(employee relation) stage. I didn’t do anything. A female associate filed a report that I have touched her butt at lunch break while other associates and 3 supervisors were at the presence. I didn’t recalled and felt my hand I have touched anything or any persons. No one will do this under this situation when supervisors are there. I was just eating lunch as usual. The woman associate were eating lunch with her group of friends, 6 ft on the left table away from me. Nothing happened, then she filed the report after the lunch. I know it is a mistake, and may be she planned it. I didn’t meet any investigator . Still saying under investigation for almost a month. My supervisor supported me. She is from the other team. I know I didn’t do anything. That may be is her planned setup? Should I fight it legally? Means, find a lawyer?

Keep your mouth closed. Make them prove it.

[jogabonito]

If it is in your organization’s policy to notify the accused of what the allegations are, and the organization fails to do so, is this a breech in policy?
