noun
preventive suspension
A formal term used in workplace or organizational contexts for suspending an employee as a precautionary measure, often pending an investigation.
不正の疑いがある社員に対して、会社は予防的停職を命じた。
The company ordered a preventive suspension for the employee suspected of misconduct.
停職 is a general suspension from work, while 予防的停職 specifically refers to a suspension taken as a precaution, not necessarily as a disciplinary measure.
