Add Comment Question: I called in sick on new years eve, have provided a doctors note, and still got fired for calling in on a mandatory work day. Can anything be done? Especially since there are other people who have called in more than just that day that week and are still employed? Answer: Thank you for your question. Unless you have a disability, the company is allowed to let you go. That said, this would be a termination without cause, which means you get severance. Please give me a call to discuss the amount that you are owed. Lior Samfiru Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
