Can I be fired for missing work because of my disability. I have clinical depression. Past few months I've been in the hospital for a week I've missed a day because I had a dr. appointment. I've missed days because I've gone to emerge. Recently I have also been changing my meds around so it messes with me a bit. Last Monday I was in the er changed my meds again and wanted me to take Tuesday off to recover. I went to work Wednesday and was doing my regular morning routine when I was going to pull a car into the garage to clean it, but I froze and had a panic attack sitting at the wheel. Boss called my mom to come pick me up and said he's trying to run a business and needs reliable employees, so he needed to let me go. On what basis could I be fired?
