Tbh, that doesn't sound that bad. A month of paid vacation? I'd take it.

Suspension will stay on her file and will be taken into account every time a decision is made about any transfers, promotions, pay raises, bonuses, or further punishments are made. Also, while she is technically 'off' work, she's also not allowed to work on any ongoing cases or pursue any investigations or be assigned any new cases, and any currently open cases she's handling will be passed to someone else (although admittedly this doesn't mean much as she works in Cold Cases). She's also not allowed on-site at her precinct. 

Also, given the character's drive, forced time off seems like it might irritate her - go a bit stir-crazy?
