Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Employer Issues

I was fired from my job for

''attendance'' yesterday. I was

previously written up for the same

thing but this was preapproved time by

my supervisor. HR said because she

wasn't aware that there wasn't any

''personal time'' she shouldn't hAve

approved it and I could be written up.

She then talked about the economy

and how I should be happy to have a

job. I have provided all documentation

I was suppose to. Is this legal?
