suspended employee

mdodge · April 2012

Hi everyone!! I had an interesting questions posed to me I have a common sense answer to the question but couldn't find a legal answer so here is the question. If an employee is suspended can the employer call that employee while he/she is suspended to ask a job related question? i.e. where is that file for xyz, where are you at with project abc? Thanks for the help!!

Generally, those types of interactions are allowable and don't require compensation. You can't fault the employee if it hacks him off, though.

There is no law that says you can't call them. As far as I know, the only law involved might be the FSLA. You only have to worry about the FSLA (compensating the employee) if the phone call is more than a few minutes (as Frank said.)

I wonder if Mdodge is the owner of the New Orleans Saints.

Even if true, probably not something you would admit right now...

Mdodge is pleading the 5th about ownership of the Saints!!!!!!

That is a classic non-denial!
