Dutch term or phrase: onverwijld gemotiveerd
This term is mentioned in an employment agreement. The sentence is as follows:
"De schorsing wordt onverwijld gemotiveerd..."
Not sure what "gemotiveerd" means in this context? "The suspension is immediately imposed"?

Perhaps you should give a little more context.

neutral  solejnicz: I am inclined to disagree. "Motivated" is indeed really a faux ami here.
