What is Absconding in the UAE?
In the UAE, “Absconding” refers to a situation where an employee leaves their job without notifying the employer and fails to return for a certain number of consecutive days (typically 7 or more), without a valid reason. This is considered a violation of UAE labor laws and can result in serious consequences such as a labor ban, blacklisting, or visa cancellation.
Common Reasons Behind Absconding Cases
-
Job dissatisfaction or unpaid wages
-
Fear of legal trouble or deportation
-
Lack of knowledge about proper resignation procedures
-
Personal emergencies or family issues back home
Regardless of the reason, absconding can cause legal issues for both the employer and the employee.
Legal Implications of Absconding
Once an absconding case is filed by the employer with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), it can lead to:
-
Immediate cancellation of the employee’s visa
-
A permanent labor ban in some cases
-
Inability to enter or work in the UAE in future
-
Difficulty in transferring sponsorship
How to Check If You Have an Absconding Case
You can check your absconding status by visiting:
-
MOHRE website: www.mohre.gov.ae
-
Typing centers: such as Firdous Typing Services
-
Calling the Labor helpline: 800 60
Can an Absconding Case Be Removed?
Yes, under certain conditions, the absconding report can be removed:
1. By Employer Request
If the employer agrees to withdraw the complaint, they can submit a request through MOHRE or a registered typing center.
2. Through Legal Appeal
In some cases, the employee can file a complaint and prove they did not abscond (e.g., with medical records or police reports).
