I was counseled for call offs (9 within the last year) and was told that if I were to call off within my probationary period, that my position will be taken from me. I had to call off within my probationary period due to my daughter having a seizure for the first time. We took her to the E.R., was there all night, and was told by the physician to follow up with her physician in the morning. I had gotten a call from my supervisor that day, and was told over the phone that my position was taken away and was offered to another employee.

Why so many calloffs??
Maybe it sounds harsh, but they have to be able to count on someone being there and they told you as much.
.Call them up, Ask them to reconsider. The worst thingtheycan do is say "no." But you must convince them that you'vesolved yourcall-off problem.

Personally I think that you are a lair, 9 call offs in a year and still on a probationary period. The company you were at I feel was more than reasonable, you were forewarned.

You don't say what state you live in. Most states are "at will" employment states. Simply stated, your employer can dismiss you for any or no reason. How you are terminated has a bearing on whether or not you can collect unemployment benefits. If you were terminated for cause you will most likely not be able to collect unemployment benefits. On the other hand, if business is down and the employee cutbacks were necessary, then you should be able to collect.
Nine times within the past year? Sounds to me you were dismissed for cause.

Maybe that call-off was justifiable, but what about the other 9.
What do you expect to happen when you were specifically warned?....And did speak specifically to the person who warned you before you didn't show up.?
Sorry, no sympathy from me. The job is important to the company, it isn't to you.

Nope - They can't do it. It's illegal, so I suggest you take legal action. They cannot take your job away because of an emergency, just like they can't take it away if, say, your leg were broken.
