HR is suppose to communicate to the leader that the absences are nonaccountable. HR may have also asked for additional paperwork from the TM that was not provided. The leave would not be denied if the proper documentation is received.
Any time my TMs open a leave, request FMLA, use FMLA days, need to submit supporting documentation, or get denied I get an email from Reed group/benefits center.
So yes, its now the ETL's job to communicate that A) your leave was denied B) the time is accountable and C) it could potentially impact job changes and/or transfers.
The leader should also communicate that to avoid this, HR needs the proper documentation/communication or whatever. What the TM decides to share with the leader at this point is up to the TM. But that TM is still accountable for missed time and needs to either backfill with sicktime or back date a leave to cover it. Its not leader discretion its company policy.
