Can you suspend an employee while there's an ongoing investigation (PREVENTIVE SUSPENSION)?

Para sa mga amo, puwede ba ninyo i-suspinde ang isang empleyado habang iniimbistigahan sa violation nya o preventive suspension?
Sa mga empleyado, ano ang mga karapatan ninyo pag nasuspinde?
Ito yung tanong ng mga readers natin ngayon, 2 sila:
"Hi Sir, I was put on a preventive suspension for 5 days due to neglect of duty, I am working as a supervisor in a BPO company. I received an NTE letter that would last for 5 days, I provided my explanation in less than 5 days, but they won't let me report for work while the case is still ongoing and now it is more than a month and I haven't received any NOTICE OF DECISION. Am I not eligible for payroll for those days while the case is ongoing? and why did the company take more than a month to decide?" - Lino G.
"If the employer sent a notice of preventive suspension can the employee go to duty or report at work or not anymore?" Hyacynth T.
Interesting topics. So in this episode, paguusapan natin ang:
- Preventive suspension
- Difference from regular suspension
- What can you do with it
- What can't you do with it
This episode is brought to you by "The Complete Employee Discipline System" A book that teaches owners, managers, and supervisors how to handle any offense easily and systematically.

Clear explanation po Atty/s Clear as Crystal! Thank you po! From Linda Cena, CA., USA. I am a retiree!

Atty. good day. Hihingi lng po ako ng legal advice. 10 years na po ako nagtatrabaho sa lending company. Ngayon po mag impose sila ng preventive suspension. Ano pa ba tamang proseso sa pag impose ng preventive suspension? Dumating po kasi ang aming head audit galing main office. Nga nag interview siya sa akin at pinagawan nya ko ng written affidavit ang dating po kasi ng interview eh parang interogation sa part ko at may pinabago siya sa writyen affidavit ko. At inakusahan nya agad ako na suspected oh kasabwat ako dun sa mga taong naka loan sa aming oposina dahil ako ang nag C.I tama po ba yang ginawa nila? Maraming salamat po

[@MhistickaLu]

Atty. nagsubmit po ako ng resignation last july 22 supposedly aug 22 po ang last day ko for turn over and all. pero sabi ng employer ko na kung pwede mag stay pa ako hanggang aug. 30 and pumayag naman po ako. then i just received an email na yung resignation ko ay naka on hold daw pending some clarifications. The questions are 1. tumatakbo na po ba yung 30 days notice ko since I formally submitted my resignation nung july 22? 2. pwede ko po ba bawiin yung request ng employer up to Aug 30 and then mag stick sa sinasabi ng batas na 30 days turn over period?

[@aloramaeparas1055]

50days na po ang preventive suspension, pero di ako binayaran sa PS extension ko w/c is 20 days. Now nag email sila na may Notice of decision na and the decision is another 30days suspension without pay

[@user-mc3np8sm2d]

Dapat po paid na yan after 30 days Rule 23 Section Book V of Dole. Nakapag follow up ka po ba sa kanila? Babayaran nila yung 20 days mo sir.

[@igmediosanpedro5864]

Sa ilalim ba ng preventive suspension in 5 to 30 days limit of employer investigation, nakapending lang ang sweldo ng employee o walang sweldo na inaasahan dahil nga under preventive suspension sya? Kung sakali man na walang sweldo dahil nga iniimbestigahan sya at napatunayang not guilty naman sya. Kailangan bang bayaran ng employer yung perwisyo na hindi sya pinagtrabaho at walang sweldo dahil sa suspetsa sa nasabing empleyado? Tnx

Hi Po, tanong ko lng Po. Pwdi po bang mag resign During Preventive suspension period? Thank you

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

Puwede naman po mag resign anytime. Dadaan lang po kayo sa turnover period kung sakali.

[@chuchi3075]

@@LegalGuidePhilippines ano po ung turnover period

[@ayce1pnk694]

hi question pwede po bang mg resign and render for that period of preventive suspension?

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

You van ask your employer to credit if papayag. Pero generally speaking, turnover is for TURNOVER. kailangan po pumasok para maka turnover. But again, pwede naman pagusapan yan. Just open it up with your employer.

[@julietaopeno5369]

Atty. Kailangan pa ba mag issue ng NTE si employer before magpalabas ng preventive suspension. Kailan ba ng incident report or initial audit report as basis para mag issue ng preventive suspension?

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

Nope. Preventive suspension can come before NTE. It's usually based on an incident/audit report. However, if you already have information about the incident even without the formal report being written and there is an imminent threat there, then preventive suspension can already be applied. Would suggest our book which discusses this more info.legalguide.ph/discipline Hope that helps!

[@julietaopeno5369]

Very informative reply Atty. May precedent na po ba regarding dito Atty.

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

​@@julietaopeno5369 tried looking into cases, wala specifically on this situation. But would like to point out that the law: 1. Does not require the NTE before the issuance of preventive suspension and 2. There is no prohibition on issuing a preventive suspension without an NTE. So this should be good. Generally, in 98% of cases I've encountered, simultaneous ang issuance ng NTE and preventive suspension. But, let's take into account that in some cases, wala na time gumawa ng formal NTE and you need to preventively suspend na. If that's the case, go ahead and issue it. Ex. Nag away sa workplace. Magsasaksakan na yung 2 employees. And alam mo pag nagkita uli, hindi malayo na maulit yung encounter. A few minutes after the incident and naawat, you only have an incident report on your hands. In this case, if you ask me, I'll encourage you to issue a preventively suspension na agad based on what you have at that point. No need to sit down, draft nad print out an NTE. Baka magkapatayan na yung 2 employees by then. Hope this example makes this clearer for you.
