Add Comment Question: I was on sick leave from work and had an agreement with my boss that if I couldn't make it to my next scheduled shift after my doctors noted ended that I should give her a call so she could cover my shifts (3 in total to be covered). I got confused, and forgot to get a hold of my boss when I had to miss those shifts. It was a simple misunderstanding. I forgot what to do. Is that really worth being fired over? Answer: Thank you for your question. If your continued absence was still a result of a medical issue, it is possible that your employer discriminated against you in terminating your employment, in which case you would be owed not only severance, but potentially additional amounts as well.
