The reason was failure to substantiate absences. I did substatiate them per company policy and did use more time than our company allows annually. Every abscense was medical realted and I brought a letter from the Doctor ech time , followed by insurance statements confirming the dates in question. I am losing my sight in my right eye gradually and had surgery schedule for July 12. SInce my termination was retroactive to the unpaid suspension date of April 27, my health insurance was canceled retroactively to then as well. I was offered Cobra but it will not take effect in time to help me plus I must now pay all the Doctor bills since April 27 and full prescription prices back to then. I am an over 50 adult with ADHD and Panic Attack Syndrome. I was denied unemployment benefits, not given an exit interview, I had to sign in/out daily-no one else ddid. Another emp was helped to get medical leave for his illness, another was allowed to work part-time-I felt shame and picked on HELP!

You need to contact an employment lawyer in your state for possible wrongful termination. Typically a consultation is free, and they sometimes won't charge you unless they win your case. The laws vary too dramatically between one state to another for you to get any really useful advice here.
Good luck, however. I hope everything sorts itself out in your best interest.
