An employee was kept under suspension pending enquiry during the proceedings of disciplinary action. In this disciplinary action, the Management has taken a lenient view by awarding the specific punishment of 10 days suspension in the place of Dismissal, which was proposed in the Second Show Cause Notice for the proven misconducts. The employee who kept under suspension pending enquiry was paid Subsistence Allowance as per the T.N. Subsistence Allowance Act. The entire process was completed within 90 days.
In this my query is -
Whether the Management has to pay the remaining part of wages to the workman, who was kept under suspension pending enquiry before imposing the specific punishment 10 days for the proven mis-conduct (The employee was no exonerated from the charges levelled against him) after adjusting the Subsistence Allowance already paid to the employee during the period of suspension pending enquiry?
Request Expert advice in this issue with the court ruling, if any, please.
