You certainly can be suspended from work without a warning - although the procedure will often be governed by the terms stipulated in your contractual agreement.

Can I be suspended from work with no warning?
When you first start working for a company, you are usually given a contract detailing the 'rules' of working for that employer.

In this contract, the company's disciplinary procedure is usually outlined - and this is where you should look for information regarding your suspension.

Although I can't speculate on what's been stated in your specific contract, most companies reserve the right to suspend or terminate employment, if the actions of an employee are deemed serious enough to warrant such action.

Suspended without a warning!
Warnings regarding the behavior or conduct of an employee can be issued either verbally or in written form, but a company can still take appropriate action to prevent damage or harm to the company or its employees without issuing a warning.

There is no law that governs how your company should deal with matters like this - it is simply down to company policy.

The only circumstances in which you can get the law involved is if you feel you are being discriminated against, or if a company is acting in breach of its contractual agreement with you.

That depends on the reason, but it's certainly possible.
Indeed, you can be fired without a warning if your actions constitute gross industrial misconduct.

Some companies can give an instant dismissal and, yes, it depends on what took place and depends on the company you work for.

Gross misconduct in certain companies can be very serious, they can dismiss you without any warnings.

If you have a contract, take a look at it - otherwise you will not have any grounds to argue, and it depends what you did.
