Cause

User has missing permission Event Reason object

Resolution

PLEASE NOTE: Permission setting for "event reason" is ignored in the employee profile UI but honored in reporting (and other places as e.g. integration). Therefore, it could be possible that a missing permission for "event reason" could lead to different behaviors in employee profile UI and other applications like reporting. 

Make sure to grant user with this Permission:
Manage Foundation Objects Types > Event Reason (View)
