Unjust Suspension Defense Steps

Summary

If you are suspended for alleged misconduct, gather evidence such as emails and WhatsApp messages to support your case. Respond to the suspension letter with your evidence, explaining your side of the story. Request a formal hearing or meeting to discuss the matter with your employer. Prepare a statement explaining your actions, identify witnesses, and familiarize yourself with company policies. During the hearing, stay calm, present evidence clearly, emphasize communication, and refer to company policies. If you were absent due to sick leave, provide proof of your absence and inform the company. Consider identifying who was responsible for your duties during your absence.
