Section Name

Article 163
Starting Date: 01/04/2009

The employee shall be considered to have resigned in the following cases:

If the employee is absent from work without permission for 15 consecutive days, even if this occurred after a legitimate leave, unless the employee presents within the next 15 days an acceptable justification. In this case, the period of absence may be counted as a legal leave if the leave balance allows it, otherwise the salary shall be deducted to cover the absent days. If the employee fails to present any reasons to justify the absence or if such reasons were presented but rejected, the service shall be considered as terminated as of the day the employee was absent from work.
In the event where the employee takes a leave for a non-consecutive period exceeding thirty (30) days without the permission of the employer. In such case, the service shall be considered as terminated on the day following the completion of this period.
In the event where the seconded employee is absent from work within 15 days after his/her permitted leave is over (as determined in Article 88 hereof), unless the employee presents a justification within the next 15 days. If the employee fails to present such justification or if such reasons are presented but were rejected, the service shall be considered as terminated as of the end of the secondment. In the three previous cases, the employee must be notified in writing. The notice must be given after seven (7) days of absence from work in the first case, and after fifteen (15) days in the second and third cases.
In the event where the employee joins any foreign entity for work without the authorisation of the competent authority. In this case, the employee's service shall be considered as being terminated as of the date of joining the foreign entity.
