A Job Suspension Letter is a crucial document in German employment law used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their workplace duties while maintaining the employment relationship. Common scenarios include pending disciplinary investigations, organizational restructuring, or protecting business interests. The document must comply with strict German labor law requirements, including proper justification for suspension, clear terms regarding continuation of salary and benefits, and consideration of works council rights where applicable.
