Examples of cases involving suspension at work

Following the last two episodes in which I covered suspending employees I have compiled some cases involving suspension at work to give you some examples of the facts and circumstances.

In this episode I will cover:

• Camden and Islington Mental Health and Social Care Trust v Atkinson UKEAT/0058/07
• Gogay v Hertfordshire County Council – Court of Appeal 2000;
• Mezey v South West London & St George’s Mental Health Trust – Court of Appeal;
• Milne v The Link Asset & Security Company Limited – Employment Appeal Tribunal;
• Shipstone v Leicestershire County Council – Leicester Employment Tribunal.

You can review Employment Tribunal Judgements that have been published here: https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions

Action Points

1. Seek advice about the particular circumstances, every case is different;
2. Review the suspension checklist before suspending;
3. Take care not to make snap decisions or judgments;
4. Listen to the two earlier episodes on suspension here 85 and 86.
