Can you earn regular status back after suspension?

Another use case, currently I’m using suspend when people leave my company. Because we’re using the same community for Internal and External conversations, I have to make sure ex-employees can’t access internal material using their credentials. Of course people also rejoin the company, so I then have to remove the suspension. Given that I suspend them forever and then remove it, I assume they can continue as normal if they rejoin since they didn’t do the time / it was removed?
