Employee suspension procedures require periodic review, govern deemed suspension, and preserve subsistence allowance during disciplinary or criminal proceedings.

Employee suspension may be ordered where disciplinary proceedings are contemplated or pending, State security is prejudiced, or a criminal case is under investigation, inquiry, or trial. Suspension may also arise by deemed operation upon qualifying detention or conviction and imprisonment. It continues until modified or revoked, subject to periodic review and time-limited extensions. During suspension, the employee receives subsistence allowance at prescribed rates, with enhanced allowance subject to absence of employee-attributable delay. The suspension period may be treated as duty or leave where the employee is not dismissed, removed, or compulsorily retired.
