Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I was issued a written warning as a form of disciplinary action for findings on an audit that docked me points; I received a passing score. Three weeks later I was terminated for the same audit that I was previously disciplined for. In my opinion this is a form of double jepordy. Was my termination legal?
