Suspended on full pay

[Sw05]

I’m seriously going out of my mind with worry. I’m struggling to eat or sleep I feel like a prisoner in my own home and have become so paranoid and always looking over my shoulder.
Issue is I’ve been suspended from work for false accusations by 2 co-workers who have concocted a horrendous harassment case and i have not done what they are saying. I am completely scared witless that I could lose my job because of it and the consequences would probably cause me to lose my home, car and family as a result of this. I have been devastated and totally cut off by all of this and have on a couple of occasions contemplated suicide because of it all. I know it’s not true but 2 against 1 I honestly am so afraid that their concoction of lies will cost me everything all because I stood up to 1 who is manipulative and who is behind all of this. I don’t know why I’m posting on here but I have no-one I can let it all out to really, (sorry)

Any proper investigation will show that it’s not true. Can you think of any other witnesses that can verify what did or did not happen?

Contact your union / solicitor / ACAS immediately.

Contact your union / solicitor / ACAS immediately.

There's little or nothing ACAS can do, and probably not a solicitor either. A union can possibly help. But right now this is an allegation (the details of which we don't know) and it is right that the employer investigate this. Suspension is common in such cases. The issue is for the OP to manage the situation, which is understandably horrible. They need to urgently talk to their doctor and tell them how they feel. Anyone who is feeling suicidal needs personal support, and immediately.

Thereafter there might be useful information for the OP but it would be easier to direct this if we know a bit more, like how long they've been suspended, what had happened during this time, communication with the employer, and what the allegations and evidence might be if they know. And how long they've worked there.
