Potter and the Limits of Administrative Leave

About this publication

Paid administrative leave may look like a cautious response to workplace allegations, but it can create contractual liability even when salary continues. This analysis follows Potter through the decisions that have narrowed and clarified its limits, including what courts have said about unpaid leave, governance authority, restructuring and reasonable workplace safety policies.
