Do I have a case if my employer skip the warning steps and went straight to suspension with out pay then termination without valuable cause..
I was suspended without pay for a week and then terminated what they used to
supposedly to suspend and terminate my employment was actually not probable cause
since I have proof to that back me up in wich I submitted to the HR Department in
a statement they required from me in regards to the suspension notice wich was
given supposedly for recurring meal break policies and violations. Also if I was
suspended with out pay why right after I was termanaged I received a packet with
a termination letter a copy of an issued company pay card and a copy of a
paycheck for the week I was suspended without pay. I also notice that on the
paycheck payment description there is a payment that the company and state law
gives employees when they fail or don’t take there proper meal braeks wich I know
the company can actually terminate yout for in wich I think there trying to use
this cover them selves from wrongfully terminating me with no proper cause and
are waiting for me to use that cash and by doing so s like accepting all
descriptions on the paycheck wich now would give them probable cause for
termination.. So now what can I do..

Did your termination violate the terms of a union agreement or employment contract? Did it consitute some form of legally actionable discrimination (i.e. was it based on your race, religion, age (over 40), disability, etc.)? If not, then it was legal. The fact is that in an "at will" employment relationship, a company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This includes who to suspend/terminate. In fact, a worker can be fired or otherwise disciplined for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
