It is possible that a person could be fired even if they have a doctors note. However, it may be a case by case basis for most employers.

Can you be fired when you have a sick note?

Absolutely not. If you are out sick for a week or more, an employer will usually ask for a doctor's note to prove that you were sick, to keep in your file. Not all companies do this, but alot of them do. Having that doctor's note is proof that you were sick and being treated by him. There is no reason for them to fire you. ANS 2: If you are an "At will" employee, it may seem wrong to be fired for being ill but it is not illegal. A good explanation can be found at the link below. The following quote is an excerpt from that site so you don't even need to click to be disappointed. If you are employed at will, your employer does not need good cause to fire you. In every state but Montana (which protects employees who have completed an initial "probationary period" from being fired without cause), employers are free to adopt at-will employment policies, and many of them have. In fact, unless your employer gives some clear indication that it will only fire employees for good cause, the law presumes that you are employed at will. With that in mind, you really need to talk with your HR representative to find out what your company's policy is.

Either way if you are able to provide a " sick note" it will tend to make your boss more understanding regarding your absence.
