Suspension for Investigation. The employer may suspend an employee from duty, with or without pay, for investigation. A suspension for investigation without pay may only be assessed against an employee based upon a reasonable belief that the employee has engaged in a criminal activity. A suspension for investigation which does not involve criminal matters shall not exceed seven (7) consecutive calendar days. In the event no disciplinary action has been taken by the end of the seven (7) calendar day period, the employer shall either return the employee to active employment status or convert the suspension to paid time. An unpaid suspension for investigation which is based upon a reasonable belief that criminal activity is involved shall not exceed seven (7) calendar days, unless the employee has been charged with a felony. The employee shall lose no pay or benefits for the period of the temporary suspension which exceeds seven (7) calendar days. If the employee is given a disciplinary suspension without pay for fewer days than the suspension for investigation, the employee shall be made whole for all days in excess of the disciplinary suspension, including any overtime to which the employee would have been entitled.
