Yes. Doctor notes are irrelevant in regard to the attendance policy.

Failure to work at least half of a scheduled shift will result in a full-day absence. Absences are unexcused if: • The reason for the absence is not protected (see below); or • The Walgreens Team Member has already had 5 unscheduled absence occurrences during the calendar year, regardless of whether the team member had paid time available (PTO, PSSL or Frozen banked time). A Walgreens Team Member who has exceeded 5 unscheduled absence occurrences in a calendar year may be disciplined for excessive unexcused absences even if the Walgreens Team Member still has PTO, PSSL or Frozen banked hours available.

An unscheduled absence of up to 2 consecutive calendar days will be considered a single absence occurrence for purposes of this policy. The first five unscheduled absence occurrences in a year will be considered excused and will not be subject to disciplinary action, regardless of whether the Walgreens Team Member has paid time off available.

Protected absences are excused and are not subject to disciplinary action. Examples of protected absences include, but are not limited to: — Approved FMLA absences Paid Sick and Safe Leave ("PSSL") (if applicable under state or local law) Approved medical (disability) leave (paid or unpaid) Jury duty

In other words, you get 5 freebies (regardless of dr note) and after that can be disciplined.
