Suspension is never a good sign - it means that they take the offence seriously enough that there is a possibility of termination. Companies do not put people onto paid leave as a matter of course, it costs money. However it is not possible to predict the outcome of a case; it could go either way. On the grounds of Gross Misconduct they can move straight to termination.
There are arguments to be made on appeal if the decision is to terminate, but many of these are not a good idea at the initial meeting where he should admit he swore and be very apologetic. If swearing tends to be common on the floor, he should also mention that, that it appears to be accepted behaviour on occasion.

Totally wrong here - Suspension is an impartial step, hence why suspension should take place with full pay. It usually takes place if the suspended person could interfer with an investigation.
