Common use of Paid Suspension Clause in Contracts

Paid Suspension. At the Superior Court’s discretion, a decision-making leave (paid suspension) may be imposed in lieu of, or in addition to, an unpaid suspension. For purposes of progressive discipline, a paid suspension shall be considered the same level of discipline as an unpaid suspension. The terms of the decision-making leave will be specified in the pre-disciplinary notice. The employee may be required to prepare and submit a written statement explaining how he/she plans to achieve standard or better overall job performance or conduct, if he/she decides to return to work following the decision-making leave.
