KUWAIT CITY, Sept 19: The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has activated the absenteeism registration system for expatriates who hold work permits through the ‘Ashal’ automated platform, reports Al- Qabas daily quoting sources.

Sources explained this is aimed at tracking down workers with unjustified absences, determining reasons behind absenteeism and addressing the problem. Sources revealed the Inspection Department at PAM is currently looking into about 1,000 absenteeism reports. Sources affirmed the relevant law allows the worker to object within two months from the date of registering the complaint against him.

Once the deadline ends and the worker does not take such step, the file will be referred to the Residency Affairs Investigation Department to take the necessary legal measures; such as registering the absences in the records of the Ministry of Interior and deportation, sources added.
