Suspension is a form of punishment that people receive for violating rules and regulations in the workplace.

Suspension is a common practice in the workplace for being in violation of company policy. Work suspensions occur when a business manager/supervisor deems an action of an employee, whether intentional or unintentional, to be a violation of policy that should result in a course of punishment. This form of action hurts the employee because he/she will have no hours of work for the period he/she is suspended for and therefore will not get paid, unless the suspension is challenged and subsequently overturned. Some jobs, which pay on salary, may have paid suspensions, in which the affected worker will be barred from coming to work but will still get paid. Generally, suspensions are deemed most effective if the affected workers remains unpaid. Suspensions are usually given after other means of counseling statements have been exhausted, but some violations may result in immediate suspension. Suspensions are tracked, and any number of them, even one may prevent one from receiving raises, bonuses or promotions, or could cause dismissal from the company.

Suspension clauses are common components of collective bargaining agreements. Suspensions may be challenged by employees in unionised organisations through the filing of a grievance.

Suspension on full pay can also be used when an employee needs to be removed from the workplace to avoid prejudicing an investigation.
