Relieved of duty means

• A. terminated
• B. suspended without pay
• C. suspended with pay
• D. reassigned to light duties

Answer: (B)

Relieved of duty means you are temporarily removed from on-duty status while an investigation or administrative review takes place. You remain an employee, but you aren’t performing regular duties. In this context, it is typically without pay, since you are not on active duty or receiving compensation during the relief period. It is not termination, which ends employment, and it is not a reassignment to light duties, which would place you in a modified active-duty role. It also isn’t described as suspended with pay in this scenario, so the unpaid suspension best captures the intended meaning.
