Unfortunately you may not have many rights in this situation. That is unless you have an employment contract or union agreement that runs contrary to your employer's action, or such a suspension violates exciting company policy. Also, no form of actionable discrimination must be a factor in your treatment. The fact is that in an at will employment arrangement an employer has a great deal of discretion in setting the terms and conditions of employment; this includes how, when and why to suspend an employee.
