That would be wrong, and would allow him to continue to scam the system that he is accused of scamming.

Yes, he does, because he is entitled to his job and pay until a determination of guilt is made. Placing him on leave with pay keeps him from added scamming/criminal conduct and prevents him from trying to interfere with the investigation [[he is on the outside looking in).

It would be better to suspend him without pay until he is found not guilty, then reimburse his pay. It's not right that a person gets to keep getting paid after committing a crime. And I hope he is ordered to pay back all the money he stole. This is yet another reason that people hate unions.

You're not getting the point. Folks who live on this side of the international metropolis are innocent until proven guilty. Until the guy gets his day in court, he is still considered innocent.

Got it?

Good answer LodgeDodger. I was just going to post the same.

Then the law should be changed.

Okay, Retroit, I am hereby accusing you of first-degree murder. Until these allegations are proven, I think you should be executed by lethal injection. If you're later discovered to be innocent, we will do our best to reanimate you. Ain't justice grand?

Don't worry, there are plenty of folks like you looking out for business' interests vs. the little guy.

So if it takes a year or more to clear the case the guy should go bankrupt, lose his house, and starve?
