Common use of Schorsing Clause in Contracts

Schorsing. Aegon can suspend an employee if Aegon is of the opinion that the employee acted in a seriously reproachable manner. An employee can only be suspended if there is question of a suspicion of such a serious offence that after an investigation this could lead to summary dismissal as intended in section7: 678 of the Dutch Civil Code, or reproachable actions as intended in 7:669, subsection 3 paragraph e of the Dutch Civil Code. The period of suspension shall not continue longer than required. Aegon shall make every effort to keep the further investigation and hence the period of suspension as short as possible. Salary is paid as usual during the said period. If the suspicion that led to the suspension appears to be incorrect then Aegon shall provide for oral and written rehabilitation. The content of the message and the manner that it is circulated is determined in consultation with the employee. Everyone who can be informed of the suspension must be able to take note of the said rehabilitation.
