I was fired after I called in saying I would need 2 days off due to dislocating my arm I said I would be in to give a doctors note which I did and the note stated I needed two days off when I arrived I was sat down and told that they needed the shifts covered either way and that they didn't think I should come back because of it even though I had the note stating I would be fine to return after 2 days , I've been working there for about 5 or 6 months so I was not on any sort of probation. My question is is this wrongful dismissal?
