[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1133669, member: 22880"] Most likely an administrative suspension. Were you handed a Warning Letter at the moment your ID and fuel card were taken? If no, it is an administrative suspension (investigation is ongoing and they want you out of the workplace). Were you asked to make a written statement addressing an event or particular conversation? Again, if so, administrative suspension (at this stage). You will be asked to make a written statement once Express HR has all of their ducks in a row. DON'T ADMIT TO ANYTHING. When HR has a shaky case, they rely on the employee to self-incriminate. If your manager or HR goes on a fishing expedition (asking if you EVER done anything wrong) , ADMIT TO NO WRONG DOING. You can't be terminated for NOT admitting to something. Did you or another around you make a statement that could in any way be construed as being 'sexual harassment'? If so, Express places all 'suspects' on administrative suspension once an allegation comes in - no matter how crazy. [U]In most cases [/U]that aren't a sexual harassment allegation, admin suspension is used for Couriers who get a call from a customer that alleges wrong doing. Admin suspension is merely a tool by which Express can get employees out of the work environment until. HR (and in really important cases, legal), makes a decision as to whether the allegation has potential for harm to Express, or whether the allegation is a bunch of crap. I went through the process when I was an employee, and it can be nerve wracking. Keep your cool, say NOTHING to your coworkers (they can and will be called in to make written statements against you), and don't admit to wrong doing. If you suspect that Express 'has the goods on you', simply state that you 'don't recall' in any written or verbal statement (I can't remember that day, that day is a blur with the other days, etc.). Don't try to second guess Express as to what they are holding against you - if you didn't know at the moment your ID was pulled, you have no way of guessing. Don't try to start your own 'investigation', Express will interpret that as your attempting to thwart their efforts and use that fact to hit you with something. Have you been engaged in organizing activity in an open fashion? If so, this may be retaliation. In all likelihood, if Express deems you guilty, you will be handed a Warning Letter with unpaid suspension for a period of 1 to 2 weeks. If you are cleared (happened to me every time), you'll be called in as if nothing ever happened. In other cases, you'll be given an OLCC and told to 'sin no more', that is Express' attempt to sweep it under the rug while pointing the finger of blame at you (absolving management of any wrong doing).
