I was fired after almost 5 years from a company because of attendance. 3 days were covered by a doctor"s note and 3 days were due to not making it in due to poor weather conditions. This was during the last year. I was also told when I had my first warning that after a year our records cleared and starrted over. however any and all subsequent warnings were progressive. As well on the morning of my dismissal they posted that the company's year ran from may to may. This information had never been forth coming till the day of my dismissal. Do sick days with doctor notes count against you as well as weather conditions?Either way I was under 10 days for the year. Do I have a case for wrongful dismissal?
