I was fired by my employed and try to get unemployment. After our hearing i was denied unemployment.

I was fired for one unexcused absence, It says in the employee handbook you can be fired after three unexcused absence the appeal hearing is in a couple days.

any time soon based upon your receiving this unemployment compensation benefit.
