The Labour Court in Nxele versus Department of Correctional Services clarified the interpretation of the 60-day precautionary suspension period within the public service. The Court held that the period must be calculated based on working days, thereby excluding weekends and public holidays unless the employee is contractually required to work on such days.

Accordingly, the suspension in question had not lapsed, and the employee was not entitled to return to work. This judgment reinforces the importance of accurate time calculation and procedural fairness in disciplinary processes.
