Whether pay can be withheld when practising licence suspended by third party (North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust v Gregg)

Article summary

Employment analysis: If an employment contract does not address the issue of pay deduction during the suspension of a licence required by an employee to work, the default position should be that, in the ordinary case, an interim, non-terminatory suspension should not attract the deduction of pay. There may be exceptional circumstances (such as a complete or partial admission of guilt) which might justify such a deduction, but they would not ordinarily arise, according to the Court of Appeal.
