my boss gave me a written warning for "time card violation" which can be late or forgeting to clock in this had a 3 day suspension attached asked him to show me the violations he refused he told me one was a double puch which meant twice in the same spot that was a problem with the machine can i be held responsible for that as a result of not being shown i refused to sign we started to argue then i went to sign it as i was reaching for it i said "let me sign this D... thing and go home" he said for saying that that i was fired what should i do is what he did legal. and asa i see it the suspension could'nt hold up because of the problem with the time clock after i signed it didnt get to the part of dating it i went to clock out then came back to tell him i wanted a copy of all my cards to ensure all comp time was paid for and he was writing something else on the sheet i already signed and refused to let me see what he wrote if he made any adjustment to it was that legal considering i already signed it

Some capitalization and punctuation would have been nice. I had a hard time following what really happened.

Whether or not the time clock was malfunctioning, if I talked to my boss like that, I would have been fired on the spot. And anyway, signing the warning document does not mean you agree with it; it just means you have received it and know what it says.

Based on what I could figure out from your post, nothing illegal occurred here.

There are no laws that address what happened here. You could be suspended or written up for punching in wrong. If the timeclock was malfunctioning it should have been brought to someone's attention at the time. Having worked where there were timeclocks I will say that double punching was frequently a way of covering up bein early or late. If the punches were not lined up correctly, it made the times nearly impossible to read and yes, we did discipline employees who consistently engaged in this practice. If it was reported as a mistake at the time it happened, we did not as mistakes do occur. By letting it go it at least gives the perception that you were trying to cover it up.

Refusing to sign the notice, arguing with your supervisor and swearing are absolutely valid and legal reasons to terminate you, even if your employer was 100% in the wrong with regard to the punch issues. You are also not entitled to copies of the time cards, not to see any comments that your supervisor may have made on any document. As long as you are paid for the hours you worked, that is all you are entitled to.
