More details to this question:
On Monday June 8 I was advised by my supervisor i was allow to leave due to a medical emergency. Company policy is 9 or more absences within 12 months. This was my 9th absence according to the associate handbook which only states an absence is considered leaving 30 or more minutes before your shift is over. Due to this being a medical emergency is it possible this is wrongful termination when my direct supervisor and manager advised it was ok for me to go.
