Termination

I had been working with this company for 8 years now and recently I had an admin hearing with HR regarding my 3 unauthorized absences ( 3 instances having different dates ) which is ground for termination. With the 3rd UA, the reason why it was unauthorized according to them was because the date on the medcert was invalid. I was absent for 3 days and the date of issuance of the medcert was dated on the 5th day instead of the 1st day according to them. They gave me a show cause memo for that but it was not stated there that the medical certificate was invalidated so I was not able to secure another nor explain my side on it properly. The memo only contains the offense I had violated sans the invalid medcert stated on it. Later did I learned out verbally from my supervisor the real reason why the absence was unauthorized (a few days later after having signed the memo and upon notice that I am up for an admin hearing with HR already). My question now is if they terminate me for the aforesaid violation, can I file a case at the NLRC for illegal termination?

Thanks in advance!

(I was able to submit again a medical certificate which will validate my absence just recently.)

yes, that will be your legal remedy in case they terminate you

Thanks so much AttyLLL for your reply! More power to you!
