"When your boss suspends you, they must tell you why and which rule they are using."

If you are an employee and your employer suspends you under certain rules, they must tell you why. They have to say which rule they are using to suspend you, either section 87 or section 88, when they suspend you. Your employer must do this at the time they suspend you.
