Suspended on full pay

Are you guilty of the allegations and what can the employer demonstrate?

This is possibly the only relevant answer. Resign, get dismissed, it's all irrelevant because the current employer can tell any potential or new employer. I have no idea where all the myriads of "most employers did this" answers keep coming from on this board. There is not a shred of evidence as to what "most employers" do, because there is no way of objectively measuring it. And even if there was, there is no way to measure if your employer acts like " most employers". Very few employers that I know of do not tell the truth - and that includes disciplinary issues - on references. What is that statement worth? Very little, unless you are applying to one of the employers I know!

Did toy do it, what was it you allegedly did, and what evidence do they have? With that information we may be able to suggest strategies to negotiate your way out. But nobody can actually crystal ball gaze and tell you what will happen.

Think its best to stick it out and see what the result of the investigation would be. Its unlikely to take long before they let you know the outcome. It would be a very unusual employer to want to keep someone off work yet still on full pay for even a day longer than needed.


Once done and assuming its not a full disciplinary then you can hand your notice in. I would play on the lack of trust and goodwill as a way to negotiate a shorter notice period at that point. I would imagine it will be obvious to them that there is no good will between you after this and unless you are essential to them they wont want you around any longer than necessary.
