The step that immediately precedes a threat of temporary suspension is an official written warning. This is because progressive discipline typically follows a sequence of steps, starting from informal verbal warnings and progressing to formal written warnings, suspension, and ultimately termination if the behavior does not improve. Therefore, an official written warning would be the last warning given before the organization takes more serious disciplinary action such as a temporary suspension.
