SUSPENSION
Suspension can be imposed on an employee for gross misconduct, unprofessional behaviour,
dishonesty or violation of any of the school’s policy. An employee can also be placed on suspension
while an investigation is being carried out until the investigation is concluded.
Suspension usually follows a formal warning or a staff could be suspended without any prior formal or
verbal warning depending on the gravity of the offence committed. A member of the Senior
Management Team (SMT) may recommend an employee for suspension. A staff member on suspension
is expected to hand over any school property with him/her. Suspension is usually confirmed to the staff
member in writing, stating the length of the suspension and when to report back to work. It will be
noted that during the period of suspension, the employee would not be entitled to a salary.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The compensation administration programme at SIS was created to achieve consistent compensation
and benefits practice, comply with federal and state laws, mirror our commitment to equal employment
opportunity, and offer competitive salaries within our labour market. Recruiting and retaining talented
staff is critical to the success of the school as well as paying staff equitable wages that reflect the
requirements and responsibilities of their positions and are comparable to what obtains in the industry.
