Deemed suspension following arrest governs subsistence payments, disciplinary penalties, pay adjustment and reinstatement after acquittal of an employee.

Arrest, detention or imprisonment of an employee triggers deemed suspension from the date of arrest or detention for the period directed by the competent authority, with suspension payment subject to adjustment of pay and allowances. Committal to prison for debt or conviction for an offence involving gross moral turpitude or bearing on the Authority's affairs or duties may result in dismissal or another prescribed penalty. Reinstatement follows where a higher court sets aside the conviction and acquits the employee.
