Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

It is not unusual for an employer to suspend or otherwise make inactive an employee who is the subject of an investigation, or who faces charges of violation of employer conduct policies. If your wife is in a Union she should ensure that she has made the Union Steward aware of the situation. If she does not have a Union, she needs to request from the employer the employer's investigation file, the actual complaint or letter of complaint and all other documents/information relevant to and relied on by the employer during the course of investigation.

If she doesn't have one, your wife should obtain a copy of the employer's personnel policies and procedures or employee handbook. The personnel policies and employee handbooks can be useful to desscribe the employer's policies as the policies relate to investigations, suspensions and the like.

I would suggest you and your wife immediately retain an attorney, one who specializes in or has experience in Labor/Employment.
