Dear Arati
For suspended employee (male or female) some percentage of amount
(very nominal) on his basic only paid, (if management decides against written request of the employee) till completion of enquiry on the suspended employee. Other than that he/she is not entitled to get any monetory/non monetory benefits as applicable to other employees.
Once the judgement is in favour of employee, then he is entitled to get his full salary for the whole period.

Manoj,
When an officer or employee is suspended, he/she is following the HR Manual or it is stipulated in his contract. In most instances, employees on suspension talk only about the pay, either on half or no salary, rather than the benefits that he/she is entitled to. Sometimes the privileges, as termed in the contract, may be minimal for benefits; hence the principle of Natural Justice should take its toll, and once it is in his favor, then management should pay the full amount (there are case laws in this situation).

(1) A suspended employee is entitled to a "subsistence allowance" at the rate fixed by the employer, or as provided in the Subsistence Allowance Act.
(2) The Subsistence Allowance is paid until the completion of the enquiry.
(3) If the final order in the enquiry is in favor of the suspended employee, they are entitled to "full wages" from the date of suspension.
(4) The suspended employee is entitled to claim reimbursement for to-and-fro fare to attend the enquiry from their place of residence to the enquiry venue.

Dear,
Bonus is an entitlement. Suspension means keeping him away from work pending an inquiry. The Standing Orders have to provide for it. It does not sever the relationship. Bonus has to be paid.

Suspension Allowance is paid during the pendency of an inquiry when an employee has been suspended. The Suspension Allowance/Subsistence Allowance is a payment made purely by reason of a statutory obligation. The payment is made to enable the employee to meet his subsistence requirements. Therefore, Subsistence Allowance will not attract a Bonus.

Hi Arati! I'd like to answer your queries based on the provisions of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 in general and the Tamil Nadu Payment of Subsistence Allowance Act, 1981 (which is similar to the ones in vogue in the states of West Bengal and Kerala) in particular.
As you are aware, 'suspension' is an interim decision of an employer which results in the temporary debarment of an employee from attending to his office and performing his functions in the establishment on the ground of (1) contemplation or pendency or non-passing of the final order even after the completion of an inquiry into grave charges OR (2) pendency of investigation or trial of a complaint against the employee of any criminal offense and its final non-disposal. The corollary is that the employment relationship is not snapped off and he still remains as an employee for all practical purposes with only certain modified rights stated below befitting his temporary debarment:
(1) RIGHT TO SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE
Payment of subsistence allowance is an incidence of Article 21 of the Constitution and not a bounty. The denial of subsistence allowance by the employer would amount to a violation of the Principles of Natural Justice and would entail the entire disciplinary proceedings and the consequent punishment if any nullified by the Court. It has to be paid at the rate specified in the Standing Orders or as per the provisions of any applicable statute providing for the same on the dates specified. It should not be reduced or dispensed with for any reasons other than those mentioned in the Standing Orders or the applicable statute. The employee shall not be liable to refund or forfeit any part of the subsistence allowance. According to a judgment delivered by the Honorable High Court of Karnataka in Syndicate Bank v. B.A. Bhat--(1993-I-LLJ 152), in the absence of a specific rule regarding the payment of subsistence allowance, the employee has to be paid his full salary. Since subsistence allowance is a payment for not any work or services rendered, a bonus cannot be claimed nor any deductions should be effected. If the delinquent is exonerated from the charges leveled against him, he is entitled to his usual salary, including any increment due but not sanctioned on account of the suspension, minus the amount received as subsistence allowance.

Dear All,
As per the model standing order, we can suspend employees for a maximum of 4 days at a time. Moreover, we can suspend employees and conduct a pending inquiry. During the suspension period, we have to pay suspension pending allowance under the Subsistence Allowances Act.
Hope you can understand.
