i think you missed the point. if you ask for time off in advance, such as request time off for holidays, thats authorised absence, as you have asked for the time off, and the time off has been authorised.
if you call in on the day, or afterwards, to report that you are/were unable to attend work, then your employer may call that unauthorised absence, as you didn't request the time off in advance in order for it to be authorised
thus, if you are off sick, it's unauthorised absence
your HR department or your line manager would be best suited to answer the question, or failing that your union rep, or acas
