Dear Customer
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that

That's been said,
Concerning the absconding case,
Absconding essentially refers to situations where employees don't turn up for work for seven or more consecutive days, or more than twenty non-consecutive days (in one year) without informing the employer (Article 120). 

Article 128 also states that in limited contract cases, if absconding has been reported by an employer, the employee cannot work in the country for a year from the time of reporting. No employer is allowed to hire or retain this person legally during this period either. 

Employers are given three months' time to report absconding cases and if proven MOHRE could impose a one-year labour and/or immigration ban on the employee. The employee also has a chance to prove he wasn't absconding in such cases.
