''Suspension in the Work Force'' Suspension is a common practice in the workforce for being in violation of company policy. Work suspensions occur when a business manager/supervisor deems an action of an employee, whether intentional or unintentional, to be a violation of policy that should result in a course of punishment. This form of action hurts the employee because he/she will have no hours of work for the period he/she is suspended for and therefore will not get paid. Some jobs which pay on Salary may have paid suspensions, in which you will be barred from coming to work but you will still get paid. Generally, suspensions are most effective if you are unpaid. Suspensions are usually given prior to receiving so many Counseling Statements , but some violations result in immediate suspension. Suspensions are tracked, and too many of them may prevent one from receiving raises, bonuses or promotions, or could cause Dismissal From The Company . ''Suspension in United States Schools'' All public and private schools in the United States have forms of Discipline which punish students for bad behavior. When a student violates a school rule (use of cell phone, sleeping in class, skipping class, use of profanity, stealing, etc.), he/she is sent to his/her assigned Disciplinarian , which is usually a Principal or assistant principal in charge of student affairs. Depending on the reason and the amount of disciplinary infractions the student has faced to the date, one may face After-school Detention , a form of punishment which requires students to stay after-school for one additional hour in a "holding cell". However, major or continious infractions will generally result in in-school suspension, a form of punishment which allows students to attend school, but forbides them from attending regular classes. All of his/her work will be submitted to the designated in-school suspension (ISS) "holding cell" and he/she will be forced to complete the tasks in that room for the day. In-school suspension is considered very boring as students are not allowed to talk, sleep, daydream or have any form of social interaction or fun. He/she must spend the entire school day in that room, bored and watched closely. Some schools require students to write essays on good behavior or apologies. For more serious infractions, or if a student fails to report to their assigned in-school suspension class, there is out-of-school suspension. These students will be kicked out of school for a certain number of days and will, by law, not be allowed to step on the campus for any reason during the suspension. If one reports to school while suspended, he/she may be charged with trespassing. Some states offer an alternative to out-of-school suspension in which students can report to an off-site campus and sit in a "holding cell", similar to in-school suspension, although away from their normal school. The student will be bound to similar rules of in-school suspension and must maintain good behavior, or they will be dismissed from the alternative suspension program. If a student is dismissed, or simply choses not to attend the alternative suspension program, he/she will be marked as unexcused from school during all the days of the suspension, and will not be permitted to make-up any work or tests upon his/her return. This could, if the suspension was long enough, result in failing the entire grade. |
