Suspension (punishment)

Suspension refers to a temporary removal or exclusion from a position or activity, which can include the workplace, school, public office, clergy, or sports.

This form of action hurts the employee because they will have no hours of work during the suspended period and therefore will not get paid, unless the suspension is with pay, or is challenged and subsequently overturned.

Suspensions are tracked, and any number of them, even one may prevent one from receiving raises, bonuses or promotions, or could cause dismissal from the company.

Sometimes suspended students are required to complete assignments during their suspensions for which they receive no credit for some of the time, but are expected to do regardless.

Research shows that suspensions predict a range of negative social outcomes,[3] including crime, involvement in the criminal justice system, juvenile delinquency, and drug use,[2][4] as well as school absenteeism, dropout rates, and weaker performance on standardized tests.

[12] The censure of suspension (along with other punishments) is to be inflicted also on a cleric who openly lives in violation of chastity[13] and on any priest who "in the act, on the occasion, or under the pretext of confession" solicits a penitent to a sexual sin.
