Your termination date will be the date you were terminated, not the day you were suspended.Ã¯Â¿Â½Your employer is not legally required to pay you for your time on suspension, whether you are terminated or exonerated; that is because unless you have a written employment contract (and *very* few of us do), you are an "employee at will," and as an employee at will, not only may you be terminated at any time, for any reason, but your employer may do anything short of or less than termination, like suspending you without pay, at will. So while they may choose to pay you, that would be their voluntary choice; the law allows the suspension to be without pay, regardless of the outcome.
