    What are you suspended for (i.e. is it theft out of a tiller or something where you'd be asked to compensate?), this is what would really drive it along of course with contract and employee handbook.

    I would suggest that an employee can never withhold wages. But if you've agreed in writing that you'll cover till shortages then they can withhold that.

    They need a signed contract allowing them to hold back pay in order to hold back any pay though.

    No contract of employment means no monye can be docked at all.
