If you suspend an employee with pay, is that an adverse employment action? Funny you should ask as the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion this week on this very subject.

Plaintiff had been serving as the Executive Director of Legal Services Alabama, a nonprofit firm providing legal services to low-income individuals.
