Labor law in almost every country is recognized as an independent branch of law. Its final goal which is summarized in protecting employees has made it distinct from other fields and required some special institutions. Therefore, there are some institutions in labor law which don't exist in other laws and codes. The suspension of contracts is one of them. In some special circumstances either employer or employee are able to suspend their obligations without terminating the whole contract. It is the time when the contract sustains but is suspended for some time. Reviewing different codes leads us to this conclusion that the labor code is not the first code which has invented this institution. In civil code we can detect some examples for suspension. Therefore, this article with a comparative point of view first defines suspension's concept in general rules and then in other codes such as labor code. eventually, the article introduces suspension as a general rule.
