Suspension, termination, and dismissal: The reality behind each term

Print
New

The terms “suspension,” “termination,” and “dismissal” are often used interchangeably, even though they have distinct legal consequences for both the employer and the employee. In particular, an incorrect characterization of the termination of employment can affect the employer’s obligations, the applicable compensation, access to certain remedies, and the risk of challenges in administrative or civil courts.
