Document background
A Suspension Letter To Employee For Negligence Of Duty is a crucial document in South African employment law, used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their duties due to alleged negligence while conducting an investigation. This document must be drafted in compliance with South African labor legislation, particularly the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and relevant CCMA guidelines. It serves multiple purposes: formally notifying the employee of their suspension, outlining the allegations of negligence, specifying the suspension terms (including duration and whether paid or unpaid), and explaining the next steps in the process. The letter should be used when there are serious concerns about an employee's performance or conduct that require investigation, and where the employee's presence in the workplace might interfere with the investigation or pose potential risks.
