Question 143

Supervisor’s Guide to Employee Enhancement (PEAP)

What should a supervisor or peer employee do when another employee has been place on administrative leave?

Administrative leave (AL) and Relief of Duty (ROD) status is stressful for the employee. These types of leave happen for a variety of reason, i.e. the result of a critical incident, an SOC, or OIS.

Answer 143

PEAP recommends that you do NOT EXCLUDE your co-worker when they have been placed on leave. Instead, include them in normal activities. Invite your co-workers to lunch, group outings, and text them to check on them. Employees on AL may attend briefings and squad training (if allowed by CIRT after an OIS), however, they cannot be in uniform.

For the employee that is on AL it can feel like they are being ostracized and not part of the team. Do what you can to encourage your team to interact and include the team member that is on AL while being mindful NOT TO ask questions pertaining to the incident which has caused the employee to be placed on leave due to respect for the confidentiality of the situation and the admonishment that ay have been directed.

It is okay to say “I understand you may have been admonished, help me stay away from anything that you are not allowed to talk about but I want you to know I am concerned about you, how you are doing…what do you need…how are you feeling…I care about you, etc.”

If an employee comes to you with concerns about suicide we owe it to one another to get involved. These conversations can be difficult. PEAP has many resources for you, including suicide awareness / prevention classes.

What should I do if my employee has made remarks about suicide during our interaction?

Answer 144

1. Ask questions.
   Are you thinking about killing yourself?
   Are you having thoughts about killing yourself?

If the answer to either is “yes” ask if they have a PLAN or if they are looking for HELP.

IMMEDIATELY contact PEAP 24/7 so we can assist you and get your employee the help they need.
