Suspension entitlement and dismissal risk for employees arrested or charged, with reinstatement on acquittal.

Employees arrested or detained may be treated as under suspension from the date of arrest or detention and allowed suspended-employee payments subject to later adjustment as duty or leave; full pay requires treatment as duty and acquittal or satisfaction of no improper conduct. Employees committed for debt or convicted of offences deemed by the competent authority to involve gross moral turpitude or affect Board affairs may be dismissed or penalised from the date of committal or conviction; reinstatement follows if a higher court sets aside the conviction and the employee is acquitted. Absence due to arrest or detention is governed by leave and absentee provisions and may be treated as unauthorised absence.
