Former employer is out of state. They are asserting that my documentation excusing absences for medical reasons are fraudulent, and fired me for this reason. In the appeal, they also challenge the documentation for my jury duty in the same week despite it not being the initial reason for termination. I'm scared because I don't know what to expect in the hearing, and while they submitted all of the original excuse notes with the word "fraudulent" handwritten on top, they did not include a witness list or anything that hints at how they intend to prove this in the appeal notice. Furthermore, I received the notice just shy of one week before the date of the hearing.
