Verizon's Policy: Suspended with pay - what's next?

Can you tell me what happens when you are suspended with pay here at Verizon? Do you know how are they allowed to keep you in this status (suspended, but paid)? Also, do you know, while I am suspended, am I going to be allowed to keep my health care benefits and if yes for how long (have a chronic disease, I have to have health care).

Depends on the outcome of the investigation. If the employee is found to have been wrong it could lead to termination depending on the offense. It could also be a final written or nothing at all. Depends on the offense and what the employee is accused of.

In retail I've seen people suspended with pay while an investigation is ongoing. Benefits still apply and will only cease if you are fired.

Base pay + benefits until they can get you on Long Term Disability insurance coverage, check with HR.

Do not have experience here but I think that as long as you're not off payroll you have VZ benefits.
