Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Termination due to to many unexused absences

I was suspended for two days because I went over the 12 day annual limit. My employer told me @ that time my request for FMLA (mother) wasn't ever recieved from her physican. I contacted her dr & received a letter from them stating their error. That would absorb 6 of those unexused absences. I sent a letter to a ''review board'' but received a letter stating their ruling stands.
