A Doctors note carries no force of law. How many employees does your employer have? How long have you worked there? I wondering if fmla may apply for you

They cannot fire you for illness alone but you do need to follow whatever rules they have set up to confirm you were sick etc. You do need to report in by phone etc. and let them know what is happening normally unless it is an emergency situation.
