Suspension of Staff

11.—(1) The Chair, or in his absence, the Vice-Chair —

(a) may suspend from duty with or without pay, the holder of a senior post for misconduct or other good or urgent cause; and

(b) shall report any such suspension in writing to the Corporation and the LSC within two working days of the suspension or as soon after this as is practicable.

(2) The Principal may suspend from duty with or without pay, any member of staff other than the holder of a senior post for misconduct or other good or urgent cause.

(3) Anyone who is suspended from duty for misconduct or other good or urgent cause shall be entitled to receive from the Principal, or in the case of a senior post-holder, from the Chair or Vice-Chair, written notification of the suspension, setting out the grounds on which the decision to suspend has been taken.

(4) Nothing in this article authorises the suspension of a person without pay where such suspension is not expressly provided for under his contract of employment.

(5) Procedures for the suspension of staff for misconduct or other good or urgent cause shall be set out in rules made by the Corporation, after consultation with the staff, and such rules shall include provision that—

(a) any person who has been suspended for three weeks or more may appeal in writing to the Corporation against the suspension, except that there shall be no such right of appeal if the person has been referred to a Special Committee under article 12(1) because it is considered appropriate that he should be dismissed;

(b) any appeal made under sub-paragraph (a) shall be considered as soon as possible; and

(c) where there is an appeal against suspension, the suspension shall continue to operate pending the determination of the appeal.
