Hello Adam, For long as I been working, it has always been provide a doctor's note after three days. Have someone look at the company's policies and procedures. If you were released, I would file a complaint with the Department of Labor.

I'm not sure, Adam. What I would do is talk to an employment lawyer who can more accurately explain your former employer's actions. Some lawyers will provide their first consultation for free, so make sure you ask about that when you're looking for lawyers. All the best!
