Isn't medical leaves automatic once you have the MC for the doctor? And isn't annual leave should be approved by the respective manager? In my companies, claims go through finance and not HR.

So basically, the HR is pretty much useless in my company. They just screen through resume and give the particular manager a bunch of resumes to look at and the manager will tell them who they want to call. But since HR know nuts about technical skills, most of the time they cannot even pick the right candidates to shortlist.

Example: Manager says want someone well versed in Unix. Hence, a candidate which have tons of experience in Linux is not considered because the resume does not have the word "Unix".

This is just what I overheard from my manager
