“Suspends”. Another way of saying a nice paid vacation until this schiff-storm blows over.
It is very common for large companies to suspend an employee with pay pending investigation. It gives them hope and keeps them calm until they can get them out of the building.
I was suspended once. It's no vacation. It's more like "Oh. my God, what have I done? What am I going to do?" 110% stress until you get a decision. If they do decide to let you go they notify you by certified mail. If necessary a couple of security guards will meet you at the gate and escort you in to clean out your desk.
In my case I got my job back but it was the worst time of my life.
