Me and a co-worker had an arguement(Sunday) in the meeting on (Wednesday)they gave me a written warning. Now yesterday (Friday) they call me and say they decided to suspend me.....is this possible because it should only be the warning or suspension??????

If you committed the same offense AGAIN, the written warning would actually support the decision to suspend you. However they shouldn't go back a few days later and decide to suspend you if they already gave you a written warning for the same instance. As far as a way of dealing with it, there are probably few. Some larger companies have an appeals board, but depending on who's who, that could be worthless

It actually depends on the severity of the offense. But the usual SOP for warning on offenses is: 1.) Private (verbal) warning, 2.) Written warning, 3.) Suspension 4.) Termination. If the offense is very severe and you are a repeat offender then it's termination right away. What is your offense anyway?
Basing on your additional info, what your employer did was a bit unfair. They already gave you a written warning. That's it. A suspension comes after doing the same offense again. But you did not do anything after the written warning right? Then they change their decision to suspension, that is quite unfair for you. Your employer is not following the correct procedure and they are screwing you. A suspension will reflect on your application to other companies and this might cause you to be rejected.

No - having been warned that is the end of the matter. However if you repeat the same offense you may well be suspended or fired.

Your employer can pretty much do whatever he/she wants to you and get away with it. They can make you wear your underwear on your head if they want to. What recourse do you have? You can quit-- and that's about it.
Yes, there are labor laws-- but just try getting labor laws to work for you. The phone book is full of attorneys who claim that they will fight for you if you have a disagreement with your employer, but what they're really fighting for is your money. Save your money, don't take legal issue with your employer. If your employer is screwing you or treating you unfairly, get another job. Maybe steal a few PDAs on the way out or something...
I hope this was helpful!

well, that's possible if you committed the same offense more than once...however, it's better if you inquire through your boss or the company's human resources department to have this verified.

Check your employee manual or talk to someone in human resources, different companies have different policies

If you do it again, sure! If they are nailing you again for the same occurance I would talk to the state labor board.
