CHAIRPERSON
If a person's suspended knowing that at the end of the day of his suspension he's going to face some sort of disciplinary action, then I can understand the suspension, but if I'm naughty and my boss comes to me and says "Well you've been naughty, you can take leave with pay for six months" or "Don't come to work for six months but you'll get your full salary."  I just can't under any circumstance, understand how that can be seen to be a disciplinary measure.  In fact it's like giving a person leave.
