What is the name of your state? I am actaully Canadian, New Brunswick, but I would like to get some insight from anyone.
I have only been at my job for about a month and a half. there are about 100 to 200 employees there. I have been off work since Monday, I had called in every day to tell them I was not comming in, and I also have a doctor's note where he states that I should be off for medical reasons from Feb 27 to March 4. When I called in today to tell them I would not be in they called me back and said I was terminated due to absenteeism. They said I had 7 occurences of absenteeism. 4 of them would have been excused by my doector's note.
My problem is I had no idea that there was a problem, my supervisor said nothing to me prior to this about attendance issues. Are they generally allowed to fire someone who has been ordered off work by their doctor? and have the note to prove it?
