And Nick's days off?...You can take time off for "death in the family" and you can take time off for "paternity leave"...but poor Nick has gotten hit with both things at once :(

Yeah, not suspended...that would go on Nick's permanent record, and Renard doesn't want to do that to Nick. I don't even think that it is officially a "mandatory leave", because that would cause Questions. I think that Nick is just 'taking some days off', which is allowed and it doesn't go on his record.
