Dear questioner,

An employer has a right to file an absconding case if the employee did not report to work for at least 7 days.

But if you want to remove the absconding, you can ask your company to remove it and if you need our legal assistance, please message us on Whatsapp.

Dear client,

It is not legal.

You can submit a request to cancel it.

The employee asked them to cancel it, but they didn't and asked to pay money. Even they didn't cancel the employee visa; it's a 3-years overstay. They canceled labor only.

The employee cleared the overstay fine and want to join another company but he cannot. What to do?
