Why does the Commissioner for Labour allow an extension of the suspension period to allow the employer to conduct an inquiry into the employee's misconduct?

Question

Accepted Answer

In complex misconduct cases, employers may need more time to investigate the matter. For example, an inquiry to identify if an individual misused company funds may require accounting forensics.

In such cases, the employer will need to seek approval from the Commissioner for Labour to extend the suspension period beyond 1 week.
