He would have to be officially notified that he is being suspended without pay. Otherwise, they could be sued. Of course, the reason he cannot be notified is because he made himself go missing.

But he abandoned his job so in essence he quit.

Last time I looked if you stop showing up for work you stop getting paid.

What am I missing here?

Was *he* getting paid, or was it being direct-deposited into a joint account and being used by his family? Despite the inflammatory wording, I'm sure the authorities know whether that money is being accessed by anyone externally.
