Practice question
An employer validly suspends an employee for a property investigation. After the permitted ordinary period it continues unpaid exclusion indefinitely, gives no return instruction, offers no payroll reinstatement and never concludes the inquiry. It relies only on the original threat evidence. Which is correct?
- Initial justification does not cure the later indefinite exclusion; constructive dismissal may result
- Original evidence creates perpetual unpaid suspension authority
- No time safeguard applies to property cases
- Failure to conclude always proves employee guilt
- A return instruction is legally impossible
