Suspension for Investigation. The Employer may suspend an employee from duty with or without pay for investigation. A suspension for investigation without pay may be assessed against an employee when, based upon preliminary investigation, the management official responsible for administering the employee's work location forms a reasonable belief that criminal activity may be involved. A suspension without pay shall not exceed a total of seven calendar days. In the event no disciplinary action has been taken by the end of the seven calendar day period, the Employer shall either return the employee to active employment status, or convert the suspension to a suspension with pay (administrative leave) until the investigation is concluded and disciplinary action taken. If a disciplinary action suspension without pay is fewer days than the suspension without pay for investigation, the employee shall be paid for the difference in the regularly scheduled hours of work, including any overtime to which the employee would have been entitled due to the observance of a contractual holiday. If no disciplinary action is taken, the employee shall be made whole. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Employer from taking emergency action to suspend and/or remove an employee from the work premises where, in the judgment of the Employer, such action is necessary to maintain order and discipline. Such emergency suspension/removal shall be immediately superseded by a suspension for investigation when appropriate. As soon as practical thereafter, the investigation and disciplinary conference procedures provided herein shall be undertaken and completed. Although placed on immediate suspension, any employee directed to leave the premises immediately may, in the course of departure, consult with a Xxxxxxx on the matter if one is available without unreasonable delay.
