Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I am a General Manager a retail chain in IL who has been told by my District Manager, to issue a written warning as a form of progressive discipline to my management team. All the occurrences took place more than 30 days ago. I looked in the employee handbook to see if there is a timeframe of when you need to issue a warring and no timeframe was stated. Can an employer legally go back 30, 60 or 90 days and issue an employee a written warning?

Illinois is, absent a contract, an "at will" employment state.

So barring illegal conduct such as discrimination, etc. employers have a lot of latitude in what they can and can't do.
