I placed little candy corn pumpkins around another coworkers car as i was leaving work as a silly joke, it was a cold day so they didnt melt. There are no grudges or anything between us two, we sometimes are paired up and talk to each other.He is a racist metalhead and everyone else at work couldnt see why he was mad.He went to my store human resources manager and complained. They sent me home after coming in to work because they said the situation was under investigation. by home depot of course.so is it mandatory and if not shouldnt they give me a reason why i'm being suspended? they didnt mention harassment or vandalism at all to me. thanks

i found the candy pumkins on the parking lot so would there really be a diferrence if i just picked up leaves and placed 8-10 leaves around his car instead of tiny candy pumpkins?

did they say you are suspended, or that they are investigating?
take your time at home to call the hr people at the store and ask what the policies are regarding your case.

I don't know the answer to why Home Depot didn't tell you why you were being suspended but I can say this. Based off your story, the whole thing seems odd. If you lose pay or have anything remain in your records then I would look for another job. If you don't then you should really find people who are not so mentally disturbed to converse with. The tricks our gang play on each other doesn't scratch the service of what you did..

No law makes it mandatory, however they certainly have the right to suspend you and it is the proper thing to do.

is it legally mandatory? no... is it the Orange Box's policy? maybe... but often people are suspended pending investigations

it sounds like you don't really know why you're being investigated (harrasment/vandalism/etc.). you should call hr and inquire to that as well as what the policies are.
