How do I check if an absconding report was filed against me in the UAE?

You can check directly with MOHRE whether a work-abandonment report, commonly called an absconding report, has been filed against you. Contact the MOHRE call centre or use its app or website with your Emirates ID or labour details, or visit a service centre in person; you can also check your residence status with the immigration authority. If a report exists and is untrue, you can challenge it: file a complaint with MOHRE explaining the real situation and attach evidence, such as your unpaid-salary records, messages with the company, and anything showing you did not simply disappear from work. The fact that you left after a genuine wage dispute matters, because employers sometimes misuse absconding reports to retaliate against workers who claim unpaid salary, and a false report can rebound on the company. Raise your unpaid-salary complaint at the same time if you have not already, since the two issues are connected and MOHRE can consider them together. Move quickly rather than waiting, because an unresolved report can complicate a new work permit or status change. A UAE lawyer can help you contest the report and pursue the unpaid salary in the same process.
