Unless you have PTO or sick/vacation days to cover your absence, you can be fired for missing work. In fact, unless you have a union agreement or employment contract to the contrary, you can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. Basically, in an "at will" work relationship, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit.
