Understanding the Term "Absconder" in Employment
I require urgent advice on my issue. I joined a company in October 2011 and worked with them for 3.6 years until May 2015. I got an opportunity to work in the Middle East, so I informed my Team Leader of my intention and submitted my resignation, stating that I had better opportunities and would not be able to complete the notice period. I am currently working in the Middle East, but I wanted to apply for an international certification, so I asked for my experience letter.
My Team Leader and HR informed me that I have been marked as an absconder from the job. I want to understand the meaning of absconder. I think it means running away and not coming back. However, in my case, I submitted my resignation; the only issue was that I did not complete my notice period, and my Team Leader asked me to leave the job on the same day I submitted my resignation.

Being marked as an absconder can negatively impact your reputation, depending on how your former company uses this label against you. The best solution to this problem is to keep a record of all communications to achieve a desirable outcome. For instance, send your employer an email detailing the entire situation—how you respectfully intended to exit the company and what you actually received in return.
A properly drafted email will likely elicit a response, and there is a good possibility that your employer will issue a certificate. Otherwise, the legal standpoint on this issue is as follows:
You can file a suit against the company for not fulfilling their obligations. You respectfully submitted your resignation, and they asked you to leave immediately, thus exempting you from the employment contract. Therefore, you are entitled to receive your experience certificate.
However, I recommend using legal recourse as a last resort. Even the indication of taking legal action might be substantial enough to reveal the reality of the employer to the world, which could result in obtaining your experience certificate.
It all depends on how you draft the email and communicate with the employer.

I would like to suggest that you must use the first option only. You cannot use the second option of filing a suit against the company because if you are signing a contract or an applicant form, there is a compulsion of a notice period. Therefore, if you are thinking of filing a suit, it is of no use.
Therefore, the best option is if you have a copy of the resignation, scan it and write a polite letter to your company demanding an Experience and Relieving Certificate. Attach a scanned copy of your resignation.
