I would like to know what the legal rights are of a company on deciding when an employee gets FMLA.  

DH has been working at this large business for almost 3 years.  In those 3 years after he could qualify for FMLA he filed for it on 4 separate occasions for 4 different things.  Each one has been denied.  All the paperwork is sent to another company and he tells me that the business he works for has no decision over it.  I keep telling him he needs to follow up about it bc according to Labor and Industries website they cannot deny him for it plus now that I am pregnant they HAVE to give it to him.  He won't call bc he thinks that it will get him nowhere and they no what they are doing.  

I hope all that rambling makes sense, but does a business really have a choice to deny FMLA rights?
