Add Comment Question: I took time off for an illness, which I had a doctors note for, and ended up taking a couple extra days off than required by doctor, and my employer never contacted me to ask when I was coming back. Then I contacted them and they told me that I said I quit, and they had to move on and give my position to someone else? Answer: Hi. That is not a resignation. This is a termination of employment in the eyes of the law. You are, therefore, entitled to severance. It is important that we speak as soon as possible, so please call me.
