Hi, I was recently placed under 30 days preventive suspension out of not work related issues with another employee. A confrontation happened, (i grabbed his collar) outside the office premises and outside the working hours.
The company issued me notice to explained which I've answered in returned which they again responded thru writing and I again replied.
They have sent a lawyer to ask me if there's anything i still want to add and also to show them the print screen of Facebook posts that I have on hand as my proof of evidence why I confronted my colleague.
I told the lawyer I have said what I have said and whatever i have written is written and I will not repeat myself. My position letter explains everything what I wanted to say. Whatever evidence I have against my colleague, its something that i have to present in a proper quorum which is under the court of law, since my colleague is saying of filing a charges against me.
Two days after, I get letter of preventive suspension for 30 days, saying that " the nature and gravity of the offense charged and the sensitivity of the nature of the work I'm occupying is a position of trust and confidence that gives me access to confidential information". Also, "when the person or employee's continued employment or presence would pose a serious or imminent threat to the life or property of the company and/or his co-workers, or when his/her continued presence would affect, impede or prevent an effect investigation of an incident or offense.
I have consulted a lawyer already and told me that my company has the right to put me under preventive suspension maximum of 30 days. But looking at the gravity of the suspension, is this righgtful? I would appreciate your advises. Thank you.
