Pretty much the answer is that in the US you can be fired for just about anything. Most employment in the US is "at-will", which means if your employer gives you requirements (such as calling in) and you fail to perform them, yes he can fire you. Even if it's the first time. Unless your employment contract/employee handbook specifically says you can not call in once and not get fired.
In other countries, particularly in Europe, employees have more protection, and the answer might be different.

It depends on the state. Some states are "at will" work states, which means the employee can quit at any time for any reason, and an employer can let an employee go for any reason at any time. If you're serious about the question, it's unlikely you would get fired for that, but if you were, the employer would probably give some other more reasonable sounding reason.
What kinds of records are maintained in for employees?
The main types of records that are maintained for employees are time records, payroll records, and disciplinary records. The time records track the amount of time the employee worked using a business time clock and often times it is connected to the payroll system to calculate how much pay the employee receives based on how much time was worked. Disciplinary records are kept to note problems the employee caused with the company and could be referenced to if the employee needs to be fired.
