Question:
I have absconded from work. Does my employer still need to pay their contributions into the provident fund, or will I receive only my contributions to the fund? I found employment elsewhere.
Answer:
Hi Francis,
Your company will stop paying contributions once you absconded, as you are then no longer an employee. However, you are still entitled to claim your provident fund (the full balance in your fund account).
For information about preserving your provident fund capital, read more here.
Or, if you would prefer, speak to a consultant about the benefits of a preservation fund.
