Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

In March of 2010 my former employer "suspended" my employment based upon two Human Resources situations. One was from September of last year. I was confronted by an employee, I did manage, who was bringing up a case of sexual harassment against another male employee. I was documented with a corrective for not reporting it to corporate HR but to my immediate manager. In March of 2010, another employee wrote a statement about a conversation between two other associates that she felt was inappropriate. The conversation was late at night AFTER the building was closed to the public. I reported it the next day to my immediate manager and was again documented with a corrective. During this time frame myself and another assistant manager found evidence that our manager was stealing time from the company and reported it. I was "suspended" because of the incidents as they put it to me and my employment terminated two weeks later. I think it was because of the theft issue with the unit manager that I reported and that issue was brought up during my suspension meeting. Is it legal for them to do this?

Yes, (if you mean terminating you) unless you were working under the protection

of a contract or collective bargaining type of agreement at the time.
