Suspension on Full Pay

[jay69477]

Why oh why I ask myself is nothing straightforward regarding my employment?

I recently had a bout of depression and returned to work on th 8th February as my GP has signed me fit to work with adjusted hours for four weeks.

My employer then held a meeting with me on the 11th February and allowed me 1 hours flexibility with my start time, i.e. i could come in upto 1 hour late each day. There was scope to make up the hour at the end of the day but it was said it was not required.

So for approximately 20 days I worked 1 hour less which has been deducted from my wages.

My first question is is that right? I think its fair I dont see why I should get paid for hours I didn't work, but I just want to check.

The situation has not been reviewed by my GP or employer since, however I was recently placed on suspension with full pay, now 24 days and counting. I was reviewing my employers online timesheet service and it seems to indicate the hours for a suspension shift are 5.5 hours per day and not what my contracted hours would have been before the adjustment of 8 hours per day.

I suspect I am about to be dismissed, I have posted previously and am fully briefed re this situation, was just wondering if I recieve my payslip for the time that I have been on suspension what exactly on full pay should mean in this situation.

Hope someone can help

Hi Jay69477

What was the reason for your suspension and how long have you worked for your employer? If one is suspended on full pay it means the employer will have to continue to pay you your full time wages on your full time hours.

Re: Suspension on Full Pay

The reason most of us work is to receive payment in return, and the law seeks to ensure that we are appropriately compensated for our effort and that employers cannot underpay or exploit us when it comes to our wages. Most employees are entitled to an individual written payslip.

However, you are not entitled to a payslip if you are:

• employed by the police services
• working in share fishing and consequentially being paid solely by a share in the profits or gross earnings of a fishing vessel, or classed as a merchant seaman, master or crew member
• not an employee; i.e working freelance as a contractor

If you are entitled to a payslip, it must contain the following:

• your wages before deductions (gross wages)
• either a total amount, or an itemised breakdown, of any fixed deductions (i.e. trade union subscriptions), depending on whether you have a 'standing statement of fixed deductions'
• any variable deductions broken down (for example, tax)
• net wages amount (total after deductions)
• method and amount for any part-payment of wage (i.e. itemised amounts of cash payments and balance credited to the employee's bank account).

Please clear why you have been suspended?
