Document background
An Employee Suspension Letter is a crucial document used in Irish workplace relations when it becomes necessary to temporarily remove an employee from their workplace duties while maintaining the employment relationship. This document is typically used in situations involving serious misconduct allegations, during investigations, when there are health and safety concerns, or in circumstances where the employee's presence in the workplace might impede an investigation or pose risks. The letter must comply with Irish employment law, including the Unfair Dismissals Acts and Industrial Relations Acts, and should clearly communicate the terms, duration, and implications of the suspension. It serves as an official record of the suspension decision and protects both employer and employee by ensuring transparency and procedural fairness.
