This article presents a comparative legal analysis of the substantive grounds for suspending an employee from work and the procedures for imposing and formalising such a suspension under the labour legislation of Uzbekistan and selected foreign jurisdictions. The national rules governing the grounds and procedures for suspension are compared with the legislation of post-Soviet states and selected Western countries. The article also examines the theories, models, concepts and principles underpinning the regulation of employee suspension in various jurisdictions.
