355. This Act shall not be construed as restricting the administrative power of an employer or, of the director of a police force, to provisionally relieve a police officer or special constable of his or her duties, with or without pay, if the employer or director of police has reasonable cause to believe that the police officer or special constable has infringed the Code of ethics and committed an indictable or penal offence or a gross fault likely to compromise the exercise of the functions of the officer or constable.
Nothing in this section affects in any way the right of the police officer or special constable to contest the decision by way of a grievance or otherwise.
