There is no point of react & act on this situation. If the employee is eligible for leave even though the reason is false information, as per professional person we are suppose to approve his leave.

It doesn't matter, how many days the leave is requested by employee. If the works alloted to the concerned is handed over / shared with back-up person in proper manner and there is no urgent work is pending. The leave can be allowed without any more hesitation.

Hope I am correct.

You will give leave as per the Hr policy.... and you will start sourcing for another candidate to create back up in your team.

Plan for your future.

If the reactions are common from all the people Then the HR person might have not explanied the speech correctly upto their satisfication. The candidates might have expected much more from that HR person. The HR person should not show any reaction specified to any of them be nrml confidence.

As per the leave policy statements The person if eligible on the basis of the leaves left or not he should be granted a leave but if says he has to meet a doctor a check can be done by asking for the prescription.

If you are sure that the person is going for an interview it becomes confirmed that employee has not become an integral part of the company. There might be something lacking from either the company or the employee side or may be its just not the right culture fit. If not culture fit then attitude needs to be modified which can be done via mentoring. If not job-fit it can be corrected via coaching. Or there is some problem due to personal reason counsel him or advice him to a counselor.

And if there is no improvement then you do need a new employee. Plan for it earlier since the average years a person stays with a job is declining (around 2 years).
